Kuala lumpur: Visiting Ramadan bazaars is no longer exclusive to Muslims, having become an annual tradition for Malaysians of various races, who enjoy diverse food offerings and a festive, harmonious atmosphere. Visitor, Rogini Rasanya, 33, said the presence of people from diverse backgrounds at Ramadan bazaars reflects the true concept of unity.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the insurance company manager expressed that each visit to a bazaar allows her to witness the reality of Malaysia's multicultural society, enhancing the experience. She remarked, "Every year I make it a point to visit Ramadan bazaars, although the location may differ. Today, I was craving kebabs and grilled chicken. Although these foods are available on regular days, the choices are more varied during Ramadan. That's why I enjoy going to the bazaar."

Another visitor, Wong Tien Jie, 28, highlighted the appeal of traditional Malay kuih, which are not often found outside the Ramadan period. He shared, "Today, I came with my mother to buy our favourite lemang and kuih akok. We usually visit on weekends to look for various types of Malay kuih."

The private-sector employee also noted that visits to Ramadan bazaars have become an annual tradition for Malaysians, irrespective of race or religion. For tourist Nada Demeterova, 62, her first experience at a Ramadan bazaar was thrilling due to the extensive variety of food available.
