Last year, because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Muslims here observed Ramadan differently from what they were used to.
Family traditions were shelved as the Islamic holy month fell right in the middle of the circuit breaker, when mosques were closed.
This year, however, even though the pandemic is not over, things are looking up ahead of Hari Raya Puasa on May 13.
Muslims can engage in Ramadan congregational prayers and other programmes at mosques and break fast with family and friends, all with safety measures in place.
