Indonesians’ Raya exodus


Heading home: People waiting patiently at the Berjaya Waterfront Ferry Terminal in Stulang Laut to buy tickets with some queuing up as early as 5am.

JOHOR BARU: As Malaysian Muslims return to their hometowns to celebrate Hari Raya with their loved ones, their Indonesian ­counterparts here, too, are gearing up to do likewise.

Thousands of Indonesians are expected to depart for their villages during the balik kampung exodus either by ferry or flight.
