Celebrating Chinese New Year (CNY) during the COVID-19 pandemic and MCO will be a new experience for many Malaysians. Here’s how you can enjoy the festive season safely in the new normal without overspending.
Most of us are living under tighter COVID-19 restrictions again, as a second MCO has been implemented in Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and certain parts of Malaysia. To help ensure that you’re better prepared this time around, here’s our survival guide.
Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar is the holy month for Muslims to observe fasting the whole day. The purpose of fasting is to gain empathy for the underprivileged and get a better understanding of human suffering and remind Muslims to increase their charitable activities.
Let’s face it, wedding planning and throwing your wedding reception does not come cheap. These days with the rise of living costs, inflation, and GST, most hotels and wedding venues have increased their rates per person or per table.
If you’re Marie Kondo-ing your closet and found some clothes that you no longer use and can’t fit in anymore, you would either make a choice to sell them as preloved clothes or throw them away.
Most Malaysians are foodies, and living in a melting pot like Malaysia means there’s always a new dish to try. You might have already tried most of the local cuisines, but did you know that each Malaysian state actually has their own signature food dishes?
It’s that time of the year again—durian season. MCO or not, Malaysians have still gone looking for the king of fruits. It’s also been said that there’s an increase in harvest this year, which is why you still might see a lot of durians even though the season began weeks ago.
With more and more people losing jobs and even homes lately, there really is a need for those of us who can offer some help to step in. As you probably know, the #WhiteFlag campaign has made it possible for some families to receive food and groceries to sustain themselves.
If you’ve been following the news, you would know that there’s something called a ‘White Flag’ or ‘Bendera Putih’ campaign. It all started with one social media post that asked Malaysians in need of food and other necessities to put a white flag outside their homes.
In conjunction with Merdeka Day 2020, we asked Malaysians how affected they are by the pandemic and what keeps them going to survive financially in this new normal. Find out their thoughts and hopes for our country below.
