Every year, Anissa Anis breaks fast surrounded by family and friends during the holy month of Ramadan. The first week is usually reserved for her mother and brother at their family home in Shah Alam, and the rest of the month is for meeting up with friends and family she hasn’t seen in a while.

This year, Anissa will be breaking fast alone or with her housemate in Ara Damansara, Selangor.
