Wesak Day or Vesak Day (May)     Buddhists pay homage to Buddha by commemorating his birth, death and enlightenment on this day.

On this day Buddhist throughout the country hold prayers at Buddhist and Chinese temples throughout the country. Many temples serve free food (especially to the less fortunate) or sell vegetarian food during the day. This is a major celebration for many of the Chinese Malaysians and Singaporeans who are mainly Buddhists and some of the Indians in the two countries.
