Ready for Raya revelry


Raya lights: Among the traditions of Hari Raya are the lighting of pelita (oil lamps), like these mesmerising the crowd in Kuala Kangsar. The other tradition for some families like Wan Norshira’s (pic below, left) and Ain’s (pic below, right) are shopping with the family for baju raya.

PETALING JAYA: Many Malaysians have packed their bags and returned to their hometowns to shop, cook and gotong-royong (work together) to clean their homes for Hari Raya Aidilfitri with the family.

Terengganu-born Wan Norshira Wan Mohd Ghazali left Kuala Lumpur on Thursday to avoid the traffic jam.
