National Holiday

Hari Raya Puasa (Day 2)

The second day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri continues the nationwide celebration of the end of Ramadan. It is a time for extended festivities, where the focus shifts from immediate family to visiting distant relatives, friends, and neighbors. In Malaysia, this day is a national public holiday, ensuring that the spirit of forgiveness and community bonding remains the priority.

Traditions & Celebrations

Continued Visiting: Families continue their "Ziarah" (visits) to the homes of relatives and friends to seek forgiveness and strengthen ties.
Open Houses: The tradition of "Rumah Terbuka" is in full swing, where hosts prepare a variety of traditional dishes for guests of all backgrounds.
Traditional Feasts: Delicacies such as Ketupat, Rendang, Lontong, and various "Kuih-Muih" (traditional cakes) are served in abundance.
Cemetery Visits: Many families visit the graves of their departed loved ones to offer prayers and keep the surroundings clean (though this often starts on the first day).
Giving "Duit Raya": Adults continue to give small envelopes of money to children and the elderly as a gesture of joy and charity.
