Look carefully at the photos.
I initially wanted to post the enlarged version. Then I decided not to as some of you would still be fasting.
Let me tell you how depressing it is on the morning of Aidil Fitri at a graveyard. Here you are in a sombre mood, paying respect to the dead, when the silence is being broken by muffled cries, prayers and so on. You see 6-7 burials taking place, and almost always the white shroud turns red at places, as they lower the body of the accident victims into their grave. Then you look around and see more freshly dugged grave plots – a sign that more have died on the way balik kampung.
They balik kampung for good.
So if you drive to balik kampung, drive carefully.
Make sure your loved ones do not celebrate Hari Raya Korban on Aidil Fitri.
SELAMAT BERHARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI.
* ps: Hazyr…yes, I’m going diving. Raya is for Ribena kids.
