Hari Raya Adilfitri, the celebration that marks the end of Ramadan, is a joyous occasion when friends and family gather together to bond and share a meal together. Whereas East Malaysians celebrate Gawai (Sarawak) and Kaamatan (Sabah), a thanksgiving and harvest festival marking bountiful yields and the planning of future prospects.
This year, however, was a much quieter and cautious celebration amid the Covid-19 pandemic with the recent Movement Control Order, lockdowns and travel bans across the country. We checked in with some of our Alumni to hear how they celebrated the festivities against the backdrop of a pandemic.
