Raya, roads and responsibility

Families waiting by the roadside for buses in Sandakan as public transport remains an important option during the Hari Raya period.

WHILE many spend Hari Raya Aidilfitri visiting loved ones, some mark the day differently, balancing brief moments at home with long hours on the road.

For bus drivers in Sandakan, Aidilfitri is not always a full celebration, but a series of choices shaped by responsibility, income and family.
