Religious celebrations in Malaysia

Muslims in Malaysia celebrate the end of Ramadhan (the month in which muslims fast) called Hari Raya Aidilfitri. We wear traditional clothes, such as Baju Kurung for women and Baju Melayu for the men. Various dishes are served during this time, some of them being Ketupat, a compressed rice cake wrapped in coconut leaves, Lemang, which is made with sticky rice and is sometimes wrapped in banana leaves. Traditionally, adults give money to children during this time. It is a cheerful time in which families gather to celebrate .
