A different Ramadan experience

PETALING JAYA: Muslims in Malaysia are experiencing Ramadan in a different way this year, as they observe religious practices at home during the movement control order (MCO) period.

For frontliners involved in enforcing the MCO, such as those manning the roadblocks, the breaking of fast has to be done by the roadside, away from the usual comforts of home, where they are likely to be surrounded by family members or friends.
