Hai Raya Puasa is a Muslim festival. It is celebrated to mark the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. During the fasting period, Muslims do not eat or drink from sunrise to sunset. They break their fast daily by praying in the evening. The Muslims will buy various kinds of goodies for the children a week or two before the festival. On the eve of Hari Raya, they prepare food which is for feasting together with their Muslim friends and relatives. This shows clearly their working spirit (’gotong royong‘)。 Their specialties such as ’satay‘ and ’ketupat‘ are very popular among non-Muslims too. The Muslims attend mosque services in their new clothes on Hari Raya. Visting relatives and friends is another customary practive.
