A very welcome and meaningful homecoming


A family affair: Hisham Abdul Rahim (second from right), 31, and wife Nur Fatin Farzana Rosli (right), 30, greeting family members at their house in Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur.

PETALING JAYA: Balik kampung during festivals in Malaysia is a long-held tradition, but for many who have not travelled back to their hometowns in the past two years due to Covid-19 restrictions, this Hari Raya’s long drive home was especially meaningful.

Sales administrator Noor Atikah Asri, 26, who went back to Alor Setar, Kedah, was elated to be with her family once more.
