While we're hopeful that the Movement Control Order (MCO) will be lifted soon, we already know that puasa and Raya are going to be very different this year

Not only have Ramadan Bazaars been cancelled nationwide, all mosque gatherings in Selangor have been suspended too. Everyone is also encouraged to continue social distancing, even after the MCO, which means it'll be difficult to do things like balik kampung, gather for buka puasa, or host open houses.
