Anwar at Batu Caves (pix:the straits times) |
It was a beautiful weekend last week. It had all the ingredients of the old times, multi racial, multi cultural and above all it felt harmonious and united .
It all began when our wonderful Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim visited Batu Caves at the invitation of the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple Devasthanam KL to observe the Thaipusam preparations taking place this week.
It must have
been a wonderful visit for he backtracked from a contreversial proposal to
issue guidelines for Muslims who want to participate in non muslim events
saying ….”there is no need for guidelines as Muslims should know ‘the do’s and dont’s….like
right now I’m here (at SMMTDKL) not to participate in any (Hindu) prayers” .

Attending Fr Anthony Charles Prabhu Ordination to The Priesthood@Novena Church Singapore
Fr Anthony (Charles) Prabhu CSsR was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal William Goh, Archbishop of Singapore at the Novena Church, Singapore on Friday 17 January 2025.
A group from the OMPH Church travelled down in 2 buses at midnight early Friday to attend the evening event and returned the same night arriving early Saturday morning.
It was a little tiring but the event was very grand and being in the new Novena Church was a treat. Just to view it now and compared to its former self was awesome, like a total transformation of adaptive reuse within the same grounds.
The event started with Cardinal William Goh and the long train of priests entering the church. For the next 2 hours it was wonderful event reliving all the steps of the ordination.![]() |
