As Ramadan unfolds, bringing blessings and reflection, it also marks the season of heartfelt Raya short films that capture the spirit of togetherness and sacrifice.

This year, Lalamove, the leading on-demand delivery platform, joins the tradition with "Secukupnya Raya Ini", an emotionally moving short film that highlights the unseen sacrifices made by hardworking driver partners.

With a runtime of eight minutes, this story revolves around the theme of sacrifice, highlighting the deep bond between a father and his daughter, Teja. 

Her father, a person with disabilities, works as a Lalamove driver to support their modest life. Despite facing numerous challenges, his love for Teja never wavers.

He strives to earn extra income to bring joy to his daughter, especially since Teja’s birthday falls on Hari Raya. However, conflict arises when Teja fails to realise her father’s sacrifices simply because his love isn’t always expressed through words.

Inspired by true stories, this film sheds light on the reality of those who work hard to provide for their families, especially during festive seasons. "Secukupnya Raya Ini" delivers a heartfelt message about appreciating sacrifices, because even if love is not always spoken, it is reflected in every effort and act of sincerity.
