AFTER two years of restrictive pandemic measures, Malaysians will again be able to enjoy a more joyous Hari Raya with family and friends as Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOPs) are relaxed from today.

For the Hari Raya celebration, the eased SOPs include allowing full capacity at mosques nationwide for Aidilfitri prayers as well as group recitals of the “takbir raya” at mosques, surau and from house to house.
