Episode Details

Ramadan Kareem! Breaking fast at the bazaar is a beloved tradition but if you’ve taken a walk lately, you might notice thinner crowds and stalls spaced further apart. Even as spending power in the Malay-Muslim community has grown, rising food prices are pushing some to look across the border or to Indonesia for more affordable baju and bites. It may feel like the bazaar scene is fading but maybe the true spirit of Ramadan isn’t about where we spend but where we find community, especially at a time when falling marriage rates hint at a wider sense of social disconnection.
