“People who come to my house can’t tell that it’s a Muslim place or that I’m actually celebrating Raya,” jokes Yasmin Rasyid.

“We hardly decorate or put up anything. It’s all very sederhana (moderate). For us, cleanliness is most important, so the house has to be spick-and-span more than anything else.”
