As Muslims begin observing the holy month of Ramadan, traditionally it is a time of dawn-to-dusk fasting, festivities and communal prayer. At sunsets, streets used to be massively crowded with food fiestas (Ramadan Bazaar) and many were socialising with loved ones. However, an unprecedented global pandemic is changing the ways we celebrate this year.
It is sad that religious nightly tarawih prayer congregation and the Ramadan bazaar are both forbidden in public under Movement Control Order (MCO) in order to minimize exposures. Yet, Kemmas hope all our Muslims friends and families remain happy and embrace positively gratitude to stay spirited because there is someone, at somewhere, fighting for his, her or someone else’s life. We hope our community to be optimistic and thankful even though it is unusual and tough. At Kemmas, we will try our best to ensure the availabilities and sufficiencies of food needed to break the fast for across the value chain.
Let’s celebrate as the month of Ramadan begins. Kemmas wishes all Muslims a blessed Ramadan with courage and strength that will help you to win every incoming challenges in life. We wish you well and stay healthy.
