One of the elderly gentlemen, Pak Abu, took me under his wing and shared with me the significance of the Malay festival, Hari Raya Aidilfitri. He explained how it was a time for family reunions, for forgiveness, and for gratitude.

Pertama, dia berpegang kepada nilai kesopanan dan tata krama—warisan budaya yang membentuk jasmani dan rohani. Kesopanan ini diwarisi bersama dengan rasa hormat kepada keluarga dan masyarakat, membuktikan bahawa adat dan budi pekerti masih relevan. Seterusnya, dia bijak dalam pendidikan; minatnya kepada ilmu menjadikannya pemikir kritis yang sentiasa ingin belajar dan berkembang.

The elderly folks, with their wise smiles, shared stories of the past, of traditions and customs passed down through generations. Their eyes sparkled as they spoke of the importance of community, respect, and compassion.
