Balik Kampung are the two magic words that get people genuinely excited each Raya season. Knowing that Aidilfitri is just around the corner, the Balik Kampung spirit soars even higher.
Relish a ‘kampung’ journey full of stories
After all, each kampung (hometown) carries a very special meaning for different individuals. Whether you miss your grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces or someone else, kampung is a lovely and meaningful place to catch up with each other.
Whether you look forward to enjoying Ketupat, Lemang Rendang, Serunding, Lontong or Laksa; unwinding (santai) with family and friends; visiting your relatives or someone special this Raya, the kampung calling just gets louder as the ‘big day’ draws near.
The best occasion to reconnect
In addition to traditional dishes, there are so many stories and memories to share. Like it or not, Raya would be the best occasion to do so as you reconnect with your loved ones and whoever that you have not seen for at least a year or even longer. The sweet emotional attachments just beckon.
For those who either live or work overseas, missing home is understandable. However, being far away does not mean you cannot stay connected with your loved ones and all those familiar surroundings. It all boils down to a shared value – cherishing love, harmony, generosity, and togetherness. The sense of belonging is undeniable.
The most important trip of the year
For many, a Balik Kampung journey not only sets in motion an emotional storytelling of separation and reunion, but also represents the most important trip of the year. Call it an annual festive affair that everyone takes part in it, in full anticipation.
It is a long awaited trip has to be planned ahead of time, given the fact that Hari Raya Aidilfitri is both a national and regional phenomenon. People will be on annual leave to celebrate it “Selamat Hari Raya” and “Maaf Zahir dan Batin” in mind.
For sure, each Raya season sets the scene for nationwide and worldwide travel with Balik Kampung topping the list.
Distance is no barrier
Whether you are 1,500 kilometres away or a few hundred kilometres from home, regardless of where you are, the homecoming tradition is deeply rooted in our society. It is a cherished tradition passed down through generations, plying childhood and adulthood, nostalgia and present.
Whether you need to cross state borders or fly over South China Sea, the Balik Kampung trip is all about gathering and having good times with your beloved family, relatives and friends, while fostering the spirit of sharing and giving across the community, considering there will be open houses to attend too. Most importantly, the Balik Kampung trip can help strengthen family bonds, friendships and community ties.
With all those treasurable moments waiting to be shared and enjoyed together, the forthcoming Raya can be a special one for you, your family, friends and the community at large.
