PEKAN: The decision to allow Hari Raya visits and open houses this year comes as a relief for lemang daun lerek sellers who had been out of business for the past two years.

Wan Mohd Jabrullah Wan Zulkefli said this traditional Hari Raya dish has been a source of income for him and his five close friends since seven years ago.
