Blue it is…

After brown and green in previous years, the preferred colour for Editorial Department Aidilfitri ‘Open House’ this time is blue.

Quite a few were anxiously waiting for the ‘decision’ so they could  determine the colour of their ‘Raya’ outfit.

General News Service Bahasa Malaysia Chief Subs Puan Rohana Mustaffa said the colour was selected after a discussion. 

“Dear friends @ Editorial. I know that we are eagerly waiting for Ramadan but Aidilfitri is also on our mind already, hence choice of Baju Raya is important. Had discussed abt our themed colour for Editorial Open Hse this year n Datuk Zack suggested BLUE.

So ada masa lagi untuk semua …our guests too,” she said on Bernama Eds WhatsApp.

Given the various shades of blue, any of them will do to show up for event.

Surveys in the United States and Europe show that blue is the colour most commonly associated with harmony, faithfulness, and confidence.

In the United States and European public opinion polls it is overwhelmingly the most popular colour, chosen by almost half of both men and women as their favourite colour.

It is also commonly associated with the sky, the sea, ice, cold, and sometimes with sadness.

With our blue sky “missing” since the last few days because of haze, definitely  a reason to feel blue.
