Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebrations begin tomorrow but with the MCO and the pandemic, this year is going to be different for many of us. We first look at the significance of Raya and the various traditions that are practised. Then, we discuss Raya ads, and how they’ve evolved over the years. Finally, we hear from someone who can’t “balik kampung” because of the MCO.
