<p>Firstly , a warm wishes SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI to our Muslim visitors. This year Hari Raya falls on 24th May 2020. Oh I can hear the RAYA song on TV now.</p>
<p>Talking about RAYA food, always brings me back to nostalgia lane when I was younger. My dad had a very good Malay friend and he would always on the morning first day of HARI RAYA bring an assortment of delicacies to our home . A must have included ketupat and lemang with rendang, serunding, dodol , fruit cake and other delicacies etc. We didnt even have to visit him &#8211; those were the days when all races live in harmony with each other.</p>
<p>As Malaysians this is the time we celebrate each others&#8217;s festival because we all also take time off to BALIK KAMPUNG or take a short excursion or maybe a long vacation to join the traffic jam as the kids are on school holidays , visit our Muslim friends and wish them well wishes , although the main reason is probably to savour some good food and delicacies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This indeed a very challenging time for everybody with lockdown, movement control order (MCO) or circuit breaker ( CB) whatever you want to call it. Therefor this year, there will be no visitation , no short excursion or BALIK KAMPUNG &#8211; JUST STAY AT HOME.</p>
<p>For those who are form my generation , from 1996 to 1998 (Ooops &#8211; I revealed my era) , <b>Hari Raya Aidilfitri</b> and <b>Chinese New Year</b> occurred on the same week. Originated in Malaysia, the catchphrase Kongsi <b>Raya. Guess when is the next one &#8211; the next will be between 2029 and 2031.</b></p>
<p>Nonetheless, lets stay safe and healthy so that we can celebrate together for many more years to come. At the mean time practice social distancing and wear a mask if you have to go out, wash your hands and keep personal hygiene at all time.</p>
