Ramadhan Mubarak!

Posted by Mimi on 10 August 2010

It’s that time of the year again when Muslims all over the world — and all over the Malaysia –  abstain from eating, drinking, smoking, and having sexual relations with their spouses from dawn ’til dusk for 29 or 30 days (depending on the moon) during the holy month of Ramadhan.

Kaabah

In Malaysia, despite being a predominantly Muslim country, food outlets will remain open as usual. The only difference is that you’ll only see non-Muslims and small Muslim children eating there (as their fasting parents watch over them). To travelers who are visiting Malaysia for the first time, it is more polite, of course, to refrain from eating or drinking in front of people who are fasting.

To all my Muslim readers, Ramadhan Mubarak! Wishing you a blessed Ramadhan which is much better than the previous year’s.

    It’s going to be a stricter observance here. But I am getting the hang of it. I love the sense of respect for the Muslims.
