GEORGE TOWN: Although Hari Raya Aidilfitri is still about two weeks away, many Muslims have started shopping for the big day, focusing on a balik kampung theme after two years of restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Among them are housewife Noortom Zakaria, 54, and her daughter Nurul Syuhaidah Yazis, 18, who are eager to return to Noortom’s hometown of Sungai Petani, Kedah, for Hari Raya.
