This year, Hari Raya Aidilfitri shall fall on Oct. 12. As a gesture of goodwill, gift-giving has long become a custom in Malaysia among races during festivals.
A few years ago, Hari Raya hampers quietly crept into supermarkets for the convenience of gift-giving. Innovative merchants wrap them up in green and yellow plastic paper to reflect the Malay culture.
This evening, I went with Yian to Sing Kwong Supermarket to shop for household daily needs. I came across a stack of Hari Raya hampers with attractive wrapping. These reminded shoppers of an exciting run-up to Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
