If the Ah nehs can suka suka cross the road, from at any point to another point thru'out Little India to their liking, why cannot suka suka change the date of their holiday?

Nothing to do with PAP. It happens every year, follows the Diwali date in India and that is based on estimated lunar cycles but the actual date would be known closer.

Sorry to Indians and Malays, but your calendar systems suck. The western Gregorian and the Zhou Chinese calendars still most accurate, never miss a day.

Actually, I think that the PAP don't give a damn when's Deepavali. The Brahmins decide and tell them when, that's when.

How blunt, but can't disagree. Don't know about the Malay calendar. There was squabbling between some India mathematics gurus over the 17 Oct date.
