As Ramadan comes to a close, many countries have either announced Eid al-Fitr (Hari Raya) or are still awaiting confirmation based on the crescent moon sighting.

Malaysia will tune in tonight at 8pm to find out if Hari Raya falls on Friday or Saturday.

Many countries in the Middle East and Africa have declared Friday (20 March) as the first day of Eid, according to Gulf News.

In the Middle East, this includes Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, and others, while several African nations such as Nigeria, Somalia, and Sudan have also confirmed the date.

Australia has likewise declared Friday as Eid based on astronomical calculations and moon observations.

Singapore announced that Saturday, 21 March, will be the first day of Eid in the country. This is due to the impossibility of sighting the crescent moon today.

Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Syed Danial Syed Ahmad, the Keeper of the Rulers’ Seal, and Touch ‘n Go eWallet have turned his annual Raya appearance into a RM10 giveaway.

Guess the colour of his Baju Melayu during the announcement, comment your answer, and 10 early birds will win a RM10 Reload PIN each.
