Duit Raya Cheer Up Kids
By Yusrin Junaidi
Bandar Seri
Begawan - One of the things which cheer up children most during
the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration is the "duit raya". It is a
tradition for the elders to give "duit raya" to their younger ones
during the celebration.
During Raya visits or open houses,
adults could be seen distributing duit raya amounting from $1 to $100
in a green envelope to children who visit their houses.
Besides the sumptuous food and drinks
served, children love to collect the green packets during Raya visits.
A resident of Kg Manggis Satu,
Pengiran Hjh Hadijah, and her daughter-in-law, Busera Abdullah, were
busy on Hari Raya eve preparing the "duit raya" to be given away to
children throughout the festive season. Dayang Busera addedd that they
also prepared the "duit raya" for alms. -- Courtesy of Borneo
