COMMENT This is the season to be thankful and in our multi-religious nation, all Malaysians, and not only Christians, should be feeling this way.

And we should feel especially thankful to the list below of of good samaritans who have made our lives in Malaysia so much richer, better and blessed.

Incidentally, it's better to use the term “good samaritan” rather than Father Christmas or Santa Claus. Some may object to an expression derived from a parable originating from the gospel.
