Celebrating Hari Raya Aidil FWan Norlizaitri the Sarawak WayGOING back to one’s hometown during Hari Raya Aidilfitri is a yearly affair for city folk. We had to wait till our children’s holidays were confirmed before we purchased our tickets to my hubby’s hometown in Kuching, Sarawak. My second son bought his ticket very early on and decided to spend the two days before Hari Raya in Kuching. We only managed to get tickets for the first day of Hari Raya. Another unique feature of Hari Raya in Kuching is that the men wear their baju melayu, sampin and songkok for seven days when they go out to visit, unlike people in the peninsula who would only do so on the first day of Raya.
