SINGAPORE - This year's Hari Raya Aidilfitri may be a muted one as families are not allowed to pray in mosques or gather to mark the end of Ramadan together due to circuit breaker measures.

Madam Halimah, acknowledged the tough circumstances the Muslim community will celebrate the festive occasion in, but encouraged families to"make it one that is still full of meaning". Mr Masagos said that Ramadan has always been about developing resilience, and the spirit of mercy and compassion. "Indeed, we can find many hikmah in this trial. I hope that the patience, compassion and agility in adapting to new norms that we have cultivated and demonstrated will carry on beyond this Ramadan," said Mr Masagos.
