PHOTO ESSAY | Welcoming Syawal under another MCO
PHOTO ESSAY | Once again, Muslims in Malaysia will welcome the arrival of Hari Raya Aidilfitri in the new norm which Malaysians have been living under for a while now.
This is because Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin had announced on May 10 yet another nationwide movement control order (MCO 3.0) from May 12 until June 7 to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic.

As the country faces a spike in cases, the authorities have decided to restrict travel between each state and district resulting in many not being able to return to their hometowns this festive season.
House and gravesite visits are also banned for this year's Hari Raya.
Despite all the strict rules, the spirit of Klang Valley folk is not dampened as they prepare decorations, baju Raya and traditional delicacies for a restricted but still merry celebration.
