“Even my mother who hates cooking during the rest of the year, she will prepare so many plates of kuih, she’ll spend hours in the kitchen to cook for other people. Our clients are nicer to us because they understand that we are fasting, so they shout less. You don’t use the indicator on the road, I say ok lah I don’t have energy to fight with you, go go. Everyone meets up at the bazaar for iftar, and friends are more excited to see friends than food. Then we donate money for charity, RM 1, RM 2 – do you do that when it’s not Ramadhan?
We just become better people. We become happier people. And we are happier and better because we choose simple choices.”
