Video-chat your relatives during Hari Raya 
Hari Raya is a time for giving and forgiving; the tradition of greeting your elders in the morning to seek forgiveness is a tradition that brings families closer together. Unfortunately, we would not able to do spend such times physically together this year, but we can still connect with relatives via different video calls!

Order in your Raya meal 
Let’s be honest, Hari Raya is mostly about the food! If you are away from home, this may be the worst part of Raya. However, you can always order your favourite Raya meal to be delivered to your doorstep via food delivery services! Give your relatives a pleasant surprise and arrange some to be delivered to them as well!

Although we are required to observe social distancing rules and be physically apart during Raya this year, do not let this stop you from having a memorable Hari Raya! Have a blessed Ramadan and Hari Raya!
