SINGAPORE: Hari Raya will have to be celebrated differently due to the COVID-19 outbreak this year, but the occasion can still be “full of meaning” by staying connected with family and friends through digital means, said President Halimah Yacob on Saturday .

“Strengthen family bonds virtually, stay connected to enjoy festive activities together, yet in the comforts of our own homes,” she said. “Our Muslim friends will celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri a little differently this year because of COVID-19. But you have found creative ways to meet up with family and friends, while keeping your loved ones safe,” he said in a televised speech.

Minister for the Environment and Water Resources and Minister-in-Charge of Muslim Affairs Masagos Zulkifli said Ramadan has always been about developing resilience, as well as the spirit of mercy and compassion.
