1st of Syawal was very much looked after by most Muslims yesterday. I believe you were among them. So did I. Even though I was still in the office the day before, but Eid has long been prepared; moderately. It was just another colourfull day for us, with the children coming in groups to collect the "duit raya". I still have to do my bits of disciplining the children..just as at home and in school...
Going around from house to house "collecting duit raya" is not the way to celebrate! Children should be advised to visit their ekders, neighbours, friends, etc to ask for forgiveness, to create new friendship, to strengthen family ties, etc. Some children do not even get down from their bikes but just stretch out their hands for money..just like thugs or beggars! no smiles, no greetings, some not even uttering a word or looking at us..and off they go for the next "collection".
But they really got a lesson from me yesterday..no manners, no money! and for those who politely entered the house, they have proper foods and drinks, and of course a proper envelope of "duit raya"!!
