One of the perks of balik kampung, especially for those whose hometowns are far from where they live, is getting closer to traditional trades and rediscovering their roots.

The Malay culture for one, has a plethora of interesting traditions tucked in smaller towns or quaint villages. Since interstate travel is not possible this Hari Raya Aidilfitri, consider doing a deep-dive of some colourful Malay arts, crafts dances and even recipes from home.
