Since some Muslims I know celebrate Aidilfitri for a month since they fasted for a month, I think it is not too late to write on this celebration. As most Malaysians, I also celebrated Aidilfitri with two of my Muslim friends. The first was a colleague of my mine whom I have known since 1989. He was a Malayalee Hindu guy who embraced Islam when he married his Malay varsity sweetheart in early 90s. They are happily married with 3 boys. I finally visited them this year in their spanking new RM 4million villa in PJ. The guests of various ethnic groups were happily digging into the rich spread of food - freshly fried koay teow, satay, curry mee, rojak, cakes etc. As you can see, the spread was multi-ethnic in nature, not Malay! Laila Johari At night, it was dinner at Mohamad Manmohan Abdullah's home. We (the family) particularly enjoy celebrating Raya at Manmohan and Laila's mansion in Damansara. We feel so much love and warmth in their abode. As usual we were the last to leav...
It is all Mimesis
