<p>I wish to thanks azlee_kilali for his kind corrected information. So I have posted his input here on what this celebration is about.
</p>
"Ramadhan is a fasting month for muslims required by islamic religion. Muslims would fast from abt 5:30am till around 7pm for a whole day without food or drinks. Hari raya aidil fitri is NOT a new year celebration unlike chinese new year celebration. Hari raya is a day celebrated for whom have completed the fasting month. A day to celebrate with family and friends." Thanks again azlee for your time to verify this. Best wishes.
