With border crossing bans keeping families apart this Hari Raya Aidilfitri, one woman is attempting to put a smile on the faces of those stuck in the city - by offering free rendang and lemang.
“Singletons in Gombak, who can’t go back to their hometowns for Hari Raya because they can’t cross state borders, can send me a direct message with your address and telephone number. "Since we can't do much, can't celebrate Hari Raya at people's homes, plus we have a lot of time, why don’t we make other people happy?" said Rafiqah, who lives with her family.This is her second year catering festive food for strangers out of her own pocket, she said, refusing to accept payment from those receiving the food packs.
At the time, Klang Valley was under the conditional movement control order and district border crossings were allowed."I asked my rider to deliver to those who are closer, while I sent some of the packs to those further away," she said.
