:sl:

From what I know, is that people in far east like Malaysia, Japan, Singapore.....etc used to bow for the elders in certain events like Eid or something like that.

I remember talking with me Singaporean Professor about that, he is a muslim and I asked him how they do this when in Islam people bow only for Allah

he answered that this is something traditional and have been practiced for hundred of years and people look at it like as a kind of respecting the elders!!! not as a kind of worshiping

but I did not get satisfied by that answer ^o)

would like to hear our far eastern members here.....

yupp.... I've seen a Turkish movie years ago... and when the son did that to his mother... I was like... hey, that's similar to Malaysians..:D

Do the Turks kiss the hand? Actually, we just touch our noses on the hand .. no kissing...

Do you know that the last clip (the cartoon) was translated into Turkish and shown on a Turkish tv station...

kissing hand.. a must on Eid...

Usually, the children would confess to all mistakes done to the parents for the whole year and ask forgiveness from the parents on Eid Al Fitr

Why the kids confessed?

1) In Eid, if a person ask for forgiveness, you must apologise him/her.. it's a must
2) Kids get Eid Money after doing that from the parents
