A check by Bernama in Kampung Nombor, here, found that oil lamps are still the choice, with almost all houses in the area choosing to display a combination of both oil lamps and electricity. For Zulaikha Ramzi, 35, despite the modernisation which offers a variety of more attractive and colourful electric lights, she opted for oil lamps as they have their own uniqueness.

"This is our family's tradition for years and years, and we are putting up these lights 10 days before the Aidilfitri celebration until Aidiladha later.
