Ex-Bukit Piatu Technic Bukit Piatu 98 raya reunion last week, my class at my house.
Raya mood is still on and many of us still planning to do the famous Malaysian hospitality – open house. The concept of open house also applied at the office where every staff doing a potluck. Or the office already have a budget for hari raya and inviting other clients,contractors and staff families to celebrate.
Some of us using raya open house to hold a a family gathering from same ancestral of both family making it a very huge descendant gathering. For example here, Tok Nai Din from Alor Star gather 800 members from more than 100 families, from the fifth to the thirteenth generation during hari raya.
Open house food usually cook by the host for invitation of close friends/family or involving tent and outside catering for large gathering like school reunion or community leader.
