The celebration of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, marking the end of Ramadan, was a tasteful and rewarding event at Hittech Wemac in Malaysia, according to their HR Manager, Uvashini Vasuthaven-Shini.
Uvashini: ‘Hari Raya Aidilfitri is the most important celebration for Muslims in Malaysia, marking the end of the holy month of fasting. It is a time of gratitude, forgiveness, and togetherness. During this festive season, we practice the tradition of “open house,” where friends and family are welcomed to visit and share the joy. No celebration is complete without food; favourite dishes such as ketupat, rendang, satay, and a variety of traditional sweets bring people together and reflect the richness of our culture.
Another meaningful tradition is the giving of duit raya, small green packets shared as a gesture of kindness and goodwill, similar to the red envelopes in Chinese culture. I would also like to mention these special gift bags. They were given by the company and included duit raya and Raya cookies. It is a simple but thoughtful gesture, and it is truly appreciated.’
