Finding bargains: People making their last-minute shopping for Hari Raya Aidilfitri at a store on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, Kuala Lumpur. — FAIHAN GHANI/The StarYet, for many Malaysians , the last minute scramble isn’t a chore; it’s a cherished ritual.
They aren’t just buying goods; they are capturing the spirit of the season. Under bright mall lights and along packed walkways, families move from rack to rack, hands full, their voices overlapping – a familiar scene that signals Syawal is just around the corner. For private sector employee Muhammad Nasirruddin Yazid, 39, the tradition of shopping on the eve of Hari Raya Aidilfitri holds a special place in his heart. “It’s hectic, yes, but that’s part of its beauty when recalling the laughter, the friendly exchanges with sellers and the shared excitement among shoppers,” he said. Despite navigating through crowds, he finds joy in the experience, from stumbling upon good bargains to witnessing lively interactions that define the season. “I remember buying a Baju Melayu at half price once, but what I thoroughly enjoy was the atmosphere. It’s not just about shopping,” he said. For him, last-minute shopping also adds a touch of surprise and individuality on the festive morning. “There’s a sense of exclusivity. You know what your family members have bought, but your choice still feels special when you wear it on the first day of Raya,” he added. “Sometimes, items bought online are not satisfactory, especially in terms of sizing, so there’s nothing wrong with taking some time to shop last minute.” Student Diafasha Dinanti Mubran, 23, is experiencing a different kind of excitement this year – buying her own Raya outfit with money she earned. Having worked part-time as a shop assistant since the start of Ramadan, she said the experience made her appreciate the value behind each purchase. “In previous years, my family would prepare everything early. But this time, it feels more meaningful because I’m doing it on my own,” she said. Still undecided between a baju kurung, kebaya or kebarung, she plans to make her choice based on what feels right at the moment. “I usually browse online first before deciding what to buy in-store. As for the tudung, I prefer shawls as they suit my look when celebrating with family and friends.”
