Once the fasting month of Ramadan ends, the first day of the next month (Shawwal) is celebrated as Eid al-Fitr – the Arabic term meaning “festival of breaking of the fast”.

“除了卖开斋食品以外，回教斋月夜市也摆卖许多其他物品，譬如新衣，新鞋以及装饰品等。斋月过后，就是庆祝开斋节的时候了。大家都得穿上颜色鲜艳抢眼的新衣拜访亲戚朋友。” – 科技点心（微薄）

Hari Raya means “celebration day” in Malay.
