AS Muslims in the Sultanate get ready for Hari Raya Aidilfitri, the festive mood and excitement are seemingly quieter compared to previous years.

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.
