Muslim holidays are highly prominent in Malaysia. The most important of these is Hari Raya Aidilfitri (or Eid al-Fitr.) It is a festival celebrated by the Muslims worldwide marking the end of Ramadan. Malaysian Chinese hold the same festival observed by Chinese around the world, such as Chinese New Year. This holiday lasts for 15 days and ends with Chap Goh Mei. Malaysian Indians of the Hindu faith celebrate Deepavali, otherwise known as the "Festival of Light."
