BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN: As the Muslim community in the Sultanate gets ready for Hari Raya Aidilfitri on Sunday (May 24), the festive mood and excitement are seemingly quieter compared to the previous years following the Covid-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.

Despite a less joyous mood in the run-up to the festivities, Bruneians were seen at shopping centres yesterday shopping for festive food and drinks. Long queues were observed at several supermarket counters yesterday.
