In a statement she said the Malaysian undergraduates prepared meals such as lemang, rendang, serunding etc to welcome the Aidilfitri celebrations there.

“We want to expose to the public about Vietnam food where ordinary Malaysians serve only once a year.

“Even though we miss celebrating the Aidilfitri this year with our family, relatives and friends as we have to be away, we are able to promote Malaysia’s rich cultural diversity and customs,” she said.

She said, in addition to being ‘young ambassadors’ of Malaysia, there were also students who begin to learn the values of life in greater depth participating in such a programme.

The volunteering mission sponsored by the Student Volunteer Foundation (YSS) was to help the local communities clean up the communities’ farms, repair of bridges, provide free tuition and some other tasks. – SS ( fl)

generasi muda ziarahWEDNESDAY, 30 JULY – The practice of visiting each other has become a must during Hari Raya Aidilfitri to enable family members and relatives gather together to foster their family ties besides doing the act of asking for forgiveness from one another.

However, the practice seemed to be declining, especially among youths who prefer to meet their friends outside or busy using their gadgets.

Commenting on this matter, lecturer of Communication, Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Heritage Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) Saat Awang Damit said youths no longer considered the practice as a special culture during Hari Raya.

“It is different with the previous generation, visiting each other including their family members during Hari Raya is a must,” he emphasised.

Describing the practice of visiting each other as a way to foster family values, Saat said most of today’s youths do not see the concept as necessary as they prefer to be with their friends.

In contrast to that, young children were still seen to be interested in the continuation of the practice and visit their family members, relatives and neighbours.

“But the only reason is to collect ‘duit raya’ (Raya money)…nevertheless, parents should take this as an opportunity to introduce their next of kin to the children so they know their family tree,” he concluded. – SS (fl)
