Balik kampung: Over 130,000 students leave varsities for Hari Raya at home


PETALING JAYA: The Hari Raya exodus begins today as more than 103,000 tertiary students make their way to their hometowns, hoping to celebrate with their families.

These students from all states except Sarawak are some of the lucky few allowed to return home as interstate travel remains out of reach for most of the population due to the various ongoing movement control orders (MCO) in place.
