The nostalgia of Hari Raya card is definitely a story that will be remembered every Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration. In the past, sending Hari Raya cards before the upcoming festivity is a must for every individual. But now in this modern era where technology is becoming more advanced, Hari Raya cards are no longer popular and remains a memory only.
In the past, before the arrival of 1st of Syawal, the arrival of postmen was highly anticipated for Hari Raya cards that were sent by families and friends.
Hari Raya cards are akin to remembrance, but with the changing time, sending such card is no longer popular. In the 60’s and 70’s, Hari Raya cards were usually self-designed in different shapes and sizes according to the sender’s preference.
The joy in receiving Hari Raya card is now almost non-existent, as Hari Raya greetings are mostly done in social media or virtually.
