Celebrating Eid During The Covid-19 Pandemic
Dear readers, I am so blessed and so lucky that I was able to celebrate Eid at my parents' house this year even though we are still under the conditional movement control order. There was a time, not so long ago that I thought I would not be able to come back to Alor Setar …
