A meaningful Raya with family

For Mohd Elipi Sien, 28, a merchandiser at a food manufacturing company in Johor Baru, his wife, Nur Hasanah Aridin, 28, and their eight-month-old son, this year's Hari Raya Haji will be extra festive when they balik kampung to visit his parents. Elipi’s parents live in Muar with his two sisters.

Since they weren’t able to go back during Hari Raya Aidilfitri in May, Mohd Elipi and his family will be preparing dishes which they usually only serve during Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
