In Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating and drinking for a full month from dawn to dusk. Fasting in this holy month though means more than that.

Perhaps, the most popular occasion in Malaysia during Ramadan is iftar - Arabic for the breaking of fast. The word has been in popular use since a decade or so.
