One of Major Festival
in Malaysia.
For all we know,
Malaysia is a country of multi-ethnic society practicing multi-culturalism and
multi-religion. Each ethnic group practices its own religion and belief which
means various festivals are celebrated throughout the year.
Hari Raya Aidilfitri is one of major festival in Malaysia. Hari Raya literally means ‘celebration day’, and Hari Raya Aidilfitri is the day that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of dawn-to-sunset fasting. Hari Raya is one of the biggest holidays in Malaysia, and many Muslims (and even non-Muslims) balik kampung, driving or flying home for a couple of days before the festive to be with their families and loved ones.
The festive sees
families and friends seeking forgiveness from each other. In Malaysia, children
are given token sums of money also known as Duit Raya from their parents or
elders. The festive sees families and friends seeking forgiveness from each
other, visiting ancestors’ graves, prayers at the mosque as well as visiting
relatives and friends to feast traditional Malay delicacies like ketupat, rendang, satay, and lemang.
