KANGAR: Despite his medical condition, a daun palas seller here is striving to ensure there is sufficient supply of the leaves for Hari Raya Aidilfitri which is just few days away.
Every morning, Mat Hamid, 58, accompanied by his wife Shakira Abdullah, 52, can be seen at the exit of Pasar Besar Sena here waiting for customers who need daun palas to make ketupat daun palas, one of the famous Raya delicacies in the state.
It is a type of rice dumpling, where glutinous rice is wrapped in a triangular shape using the leaves.
