Hannah Tan (born October 25, 1981 in Penang), also known as Hannah T or Hannah Sarah Tan, is a Malaysian singer-songwriter and television personality. She is half Chinese, half Kelabit. In January 2008, she made her debut into the Malay entertainment scene by playing the lead role in her very first Malay tele-movie, BEZANYA CINTA, directed by the infamous Zulkifli M. Osman. To add on to that, some of her own songs were also featured in the movie, adding to the memorability of her dynamic introduction into an entirely new market segment and proving that racial indifferences should never be used as an excuse in a country like Malaysia.
Oh and for our non-Asian members of the online family, Hari Raya Aidilfitri (also Hari Raya Puasa, literally "Celebration Day of Fasting") is actually the Malay term for the Muslim Festival of Eid ul-Fitr. Hari Raya is also known as Lebaran. The term 'Hari Raya' literally means "Day of Celebration". The main greeting used by Muslims in Malaysia and Singapore is "Selamat Hari Raya" which means "Happy Eid" in Malay. Another greeting is "maaf zahir dan batin" which translates loosely to "I seek forgiveness (from you) physically and spiritually", for Hari Raya is a time to reconcile and renew relationships with others. So to all our Malay and Muslim online family members, I want to take this opportunity to wish each of you Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, maaf zahir dan batin. *smile* Hope you'll have a great week with your family and friends, and of course, collect lots of duit raya! Hehe.
