Multi-Cultural Festive Season??

It is Chinese New Year and everyone is celebrating it. However, there are a few comments that I will DEFINATELY have to voice out.

It's really normal for the chinese to travel back to their hometown for the reunion dinner on the eve of Chinese New Year. So, the traffic on the highways should be pack with chinese. Unfortuntely, while I was travelling on the road then, I notice something. The cars passing my right and left DURING the massive traffic jam was 50% indians and malays. What are they doing on the road!!!!

I know.. I know .... they are either celebrating the festive season as well or going for a holiday since it is a long break. However, did they ever consider that the eve is IMPORTANT to the chinese as they MUST rush back home for the dinner reunion? They will of course say, " If it's that important, you should have taken the annual leave to go back earlier!". If I could I would but I can't! Imagine, I almost didn't make it on time for the dinner. Old people back home can't wait too late due to their body adaptation on having dinner at a certain time.

I am sure the other races are able to wait a little later or perhaps the next day to go for their holiday break since it was 5 whole days public holiday .... must they leave on the eve? You tell me....
