KANGAR: Colourful electric lights may be the choice for some but they can’t beat “pelita panjut” as many people still prefer this traditional bamboo lamp to adorn their homes for Hari Raya.

Panjut maker Zainordin Nayan said customers loved the lamps because they were reminiscent of nostalgic kampung-style celebrations.
