The government will look carefully into whether interstate travel and visits can be allowed in conjunction with Aidilfitri in May, Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin said today.
He also hinted at the possibility of allowing the Aidilfitri prayer, as well as the “takbir raya” and Raya visits to nearby houses since permission has been given for mosques to hold tarawih prayers during Ramadan.
“Perhaps, after this, with Aidilfitri coming, maybe we can allow the Aidilfitri prayer as well as the ‘takbir raya’ and others, and after that visits to next-door houses, but for interstate travel to balik kampung, I cannot give the answer yet.
“For that, we have to study carefully, Insha Allah, it will be announced at an appropriate time,” he said at a breakfast with the Felcra Bukit Kepong community in Muar today.
