GEORGE TOWN: This year’s Hari Raya celebration has provided an opportunity for traders who sell fresh flowers at the Jalan Perak Muslim Cemetery here to earn extra income as streams of visitors have been seen visiting the graves of their loved ones.

It has become a tradition for Muslims, especially those who balik kampung to celebrate Aidilfitri, to visit the graves of their loved ones at the Jalan Perak Muslim Cemetery.
