DESPITE the advancement of technology, Hari Raya is just not complete for a local family without the lighting up of traditional pelita (oil lamps) in their compound.

This Raya, such lamps could be seen at the house entrance and compound of security personnel Mohamad Nizam Omar, 35, in Jalan Yan, Kuala Kedah, near Alor Setar.
