JOHOR BARU: This year’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri looks likely to be a quiet affair without much pomp, with many Johoreans opting to shop prudently or within a tighter budget.

The festive season normally sees families spending a significant amount to celebrate with new furniture, clothes and cookies, and preparing many packets of duit raya.
