Celebrating big days such as Aidil Fitri or Aidil Adha is a big event in most of Malay families. These are the time where most of the families members will gather to celebrate and to meet each other. All types of Food and drinks will be served not only to families members but it also mean for a guests. The tradition of visiting neighbour and exchange foods are also part of Malay custom. The children will wear their new cloths and visiting all the neighbour house to collect Angpow. Even though giving Angpow is not a Malay custom but it has been adopted from Chinese tradition and has been accepted to be a part of Malaysian culture. This is a culture of Malaysian that you will never see in other part of the world. It is common to see a Chinese Restaurant to sell Malay or Indian foods and vice versa. When come to celebrate big days, it is a time to have a fun and all houses will be opened to everybody either you know them or not. Today, when everybody are busy to do their own things, the culture of visiting neighbour bit by bit has been eroded from our culture untill into extent we don't ever know who is our neighbour.Wishing to all Muslim friends happy Aidil Adha and whatever we do and sacrifice for our families, nation and religious will be accepted by Allah Swt The Almighty God of Universe.
