Hari Raya Aidilfitri is celebrated each year in the country regardless or race and background. The Malay community often hold open houses to welcome guests, neighbours and friends. There is a blessing behind open houses, such as instilling the spirit of togetherness.

The open house tradition indirectly can strengthen relations, especially with the presence of mobile phones and gadgets that sometimes can distract people from interacting with one another. The first of Syawal is not only made livelier with various cakes and delicacies served, families also get to make memories while they are together.

Receiving Hari Raya packets is one of the highly awaited moment, especially for children. Apart from strengthening relations, open house can also instil the practise of forgiveness and spirit of togetherness.
