Ramadhan in Bukit Jelutong Part 1

At sun-set, the Muslims in Bukit Jelutong as in anywhere else in the world, would break their fast (at about 7.20pm). It is one of the major family event for the day. My father used to quote..."there are two joys for a man that fasts, one is when he breaks fast in the evening and the other when he meets with his Creator on Judgement day."

At the Masjid, the flow of congregation would start. There is plenty of food for those who break fast there. After the evening or Magrib prayers, the Masjid would really start filling up right to the night or Isyak prayer. And it is only after the Terawih prayers that the back of the Masjid would start ballooning. There are food and drinks (known as moreh) and a different mood besets the Masjid. Discussions on golf would be rife. Seen in heavy discussions are L-R Wan Salleh, Ahmad Khalid, Zul Abbas and Din Khafa, all committee members of the MBJ Golf.

Discussions on golf range from the T shirts for the players right to the tasks for our Cik Gu Rahman, to keep him from mischief. Food for the day is just as important and on the right is Hj Arif, who is responsible for our food for the competition and Hj Saiful, an Architect, an ardent supporter of our competition.

Of course the discussions remain just that, as decisions are made at formal committee meetings. Nevertheless, it is a good closing to a fasting day in Bukit Jelutong.
