Salam Ramadhan

It is the 4th day of Ramadhan... may you have a blessed month. May this ninth month of the Muslim calendar be meaningful for you and family in observing one of the five pillars of Islam.


On the light side; enjoy Lat's take on the Ramadhan of yesteryear ... I remember that in Alor Star where I spent part of my childhood, the big blocks of ice came from boxes lined with gunny sacks and sawdust. Since only a small block was needed, they cost only 10 cents. Or was it 5 cents? I was sometimes sent to buy the ice block for our iftar, and yes, sometimes there was not enough sawdust because the shop man was kedekut!
