This flat in Air Itam, Pinang, is perhaps the most festively-prepared residential building for Hari Raya, adorned with a spectrum of green, blue, yellow, and red lights to ring in the celebration
A TikTok video featuring Flat Kampung Melayu decorated with festive lights went viral after being shared by user Firdaus Eusope yesterday, 7 April.
In the 34-second video, at least 15 floors of residents participated in having their corridors lit up in bright colours.
Some units even have blinking lights to make the entire building even more festive.
Watch the video below:
Speaking to SAYS, Firdaus said the festive lights are sponsored by businessman and philanthropist Datuk Seri Salim Abdul Rahman
"Salim Abdul Rahman funds many community programmes [at Flat Kampung Melayu].
"This Hari Raya, we are organising a Hari Raya party with lucky draws. The first prize is a Proton Saga, and other prizes include motorcycles, a television, and an Umrah package," he said when contacted, adding that many of the residents in the flat work for Salim.
This is not the first time the businessman has sponsored money to decorate the flat.
In August last year, Salim took the initiative to decorate Flat Kampung Melayu with more than 3,000 Jalur Gemilang and Hari Kebangsaan posters, reported Bernama.
At the time of writing, the video has garnered over 150,000 views on TikTok
Utusan Malaysia reuploaded the video on Instagram and garnered over 300,000 views.
Thousands of netizens flooded the comments section to express their amazement over the beautiful festive lights.
"Bersatu padu. Mantap (They are all united! Amazing)," read a comment.
"Wow, this is what we call Raya!" said a TikTok user.
"I just passed by this flat yesterday afternoon. It looks so beautiful at night. Wow!" added another netizen.
