The Ramadan, the fasting month of the Islam world, has just come to an end with spectacular festivities. For the Muslim community Ramadan is very important. Not only is it a time of personal reflection, but also of expressing love and affection to the family. Therefore it is a time-honoured custom for Muslims to return to their home town and villages to reunite and celebrate with their families at the end of the holy month. In Malaysia this homecoming is called balik kampung, an important aspect of which is asking forgiveness from parents, in-laws and other elders for any wrongdoing during the year gone by.
