Open houses for Raya are definitely a very unique Malaysian thing. It’s an occasion where a host throws open the doors of their home and welcomes a large crowd of visitors for the day.
Some hosts even rent a special venue to cater to a larger group. Usually, there would be free food provided, with some activities like performances too.
Several government and state leaders have announced open houses at smaller levels. However, we’re going to cover some commercial open houses here that are opening their doors to the public. You’re welcomed to drop by and check out these brands and companies as they celebrate Hari Raya in their own special way.
