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.

The annual Geylang Serai bazaar is one of the most fun aspects of the Ramadan period in the lead up to Hari Raya Puasa.
But alas, while the light-up will offer some colour in an otherwise dark 2021, the bazaar itself has been cancelled for the second year in a row.
Taking its place is an online bazaar called Bazaar Kita. It will not be able to completely replace the festive atmosphere of the live bazaar, but it’s still better than nothing.
What is this online Ramadan bazaar?
Bazaar-Kita.sg was opened on April 9, 2021 and will run until May 12, 2021.
