GEORGE TOWN: Muslims are observing this year’s Hari Raya Haji with a quiet celebration as safety is uppermost on their minds amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
In Kampung Makam, where about 1,000 villagers would get together to celebrate the occasion every year, no decorations were seen. Muhammad Doffy Satria, 35, said his family of five would spend precious time together at home this year.
“Hari Raya Haji used to be a major affair for us as I was part of the team who performed the slaughtering ritual at the nearby mosque.“My family would spend the remaining holidays travelling down to Johor to visit relatives.
