Malaysiakini would like to wish all our readers a Happy Deepavali.

As we celebrate this Hindu festival of lights, let us hope that goodwill always triumph over evil and that the forces of light will prevail over those of darkness.

We will be operating with minimal staff today (Nov 10) but shall be back at full strength tomorrow, Nov 11, with more news and views that matter.

Festive wishes from all of us at Malaysiakini .
