For the Malaysian Malays (one of the many natives in Malaysia), family bond is super important, hence everybody in the family will gather at our elders' home during Hari Raya (Eid). At least for 1 or 2 days before going back to city life.
A lot of commercial movie with hijabis female lead in Malaysia, Indonesia and some notable films from Thailand and Philippines. SEA films are different than the middle east one as a lot hijabi female actress dont have any issue playing comical, comercial roles; which not just suitable for religious character. You can find hijabi actress playing villian or action packed character in this region.
We love to be crowded btwn all families...cousin, uncles, grandmas during Raya festival. It make us feel bonded closer and together create memories. Tok long = Tok (grandpa), Long stand for Along means the eldest among siblings.
Its a tradition for siblings to balik kampung (travel back home) for festivals like Hari Raya or Chinese New year. Its a mess but we like it because its just once or twice a year. We do have hotels everywhere but we prefer cramping everybody in the house. Usually village houses are very big. Sometimes we also brought camping tents and set it up in the lawn. We also do family gathering on other time usually done in a resort or homestays.
For my family staying at my paternal grandparents' house would be a bit hectic, as my father hav 8 siblings, 9 including him..... and they all have 3 children in average.... So we used to lay mattresses in the living room and dining room... but when my aunt bought a house nearby half of us will go and sleep at her house, but only to sleep, the whole day would be spent at my grandparents' if we don't go anywhere to visit other relatives...it also helps when not all my father's siblings came at the same time, as it may be time for they to go back to their in-law's that year (we usually alternate) ....and 2 of my uncles lived overseas at that time..... Nowadays as the family grew we sleep at homestays/hotels (only sleep) but still spend the whole day at my aunt's as my grandparents have passed away...and they erect a tent now in the yard....
Summer all year long so sandals are the best option. Shoes for playing sport, the fancy one for walking in the mall. On daily basis we just wear sandals or slippers. here we call 'selipar jepun' 😉
There's a new culture/ practice among younger generation now in which the extended families would stay at hotels during this time but more often than not, there would be a backlash especially the social commentaries on social media. This is expected from a culture/ people which does not have the perfect equivalent of the word 'privacy' in our language...
"Riuh-rendah bersama keluarga mengundang seri di aHari Raya. SALAM AIDILFITRI" roughly translating: The havoc of a damily gathering brings out the joy of the festivity. HAPPY AIDILFITRI. By the way, Arif is the name of the boy. That elderly lady is his grandmother. So, that is the centre family for others to come and visit. I am guessing its the lady's children and their families. Oldeer generation may have ten or more children, thus a huge family. The gentleman in the Volkwagon is the lady's sibling paying a visit. Can uyou imagine had that man brought along his family lineage? 🤭 Now, that would require a hotel or a hall for festival gathering! The "movie" is TNB's previous year's Hari Raya ad featuring Jero, the cat.
We can't do it outside, Phez. Gonna be drenched in sweat in a few minutes. I mean we could rent canopies but who wants to spend money when there's obviously a cheaper & more convenient solution lol
I dunno, one would always have that rich grandpa (your grandma siblings) or uncle just like the last bit. We always need to go to his house for Raya or he would get really offended and ask to many question why we didn't if we met him outside the festivities. I don't mind cuz he gives the best duit raya and the selections of Raya food.
9:30 That you say want to translate it. Here... 'Hustle and bustle with the family, inviting a series at the feast. Greetings Eid Mubarak'. (Sorry if it incorrect)
usually during Raya all child in Malaysia will stay at his/her parents including his/her family (husband/wife and kids) so thats why the house will be full. just once a year
During raya we prefer use sandals bcause we never wear a shoes in a house - easier to visited multiple house We have a hotel but mostly we purposely stay at a crowded houses to know each other and its more fun - it only take 1-2days only No its not a real movie 🤣
Can you react to video titled WWF-Malaysia Camera Trap Photos from Wildlife Monitoring Unit (WMU) to learn so many cool and amazing species of animals native to Malaysia? You gonna love it!!
Consider rude to stay at hotel during any holiday. Stay home. That the place we are born and raised. Very unrespecful to parent if we stay hotel. Know our root.
Yes, it’s the tradition to gather at the elder’s house. As in this case the granny. In granny’s generation it is normal to have big family. Let say 10 children. And that children have offsprings with an average of 3 each. So that’s sum up to be 51 people. And let say a third of that offsprings are married, so there are another 10 people. That 10 couples have and average of 1 kid each. All in all there will be 71 family members in ONE locale.
I’m not sure about everyone else but my grandparents will be so upset if we sleep at the hotels during Raya. Raya is like a festivals for us to finally meet each other, catch up with each other lives and just spend time together. It’s hard to meet your extended families if it’s not during the festivals, some will live in different states and even if some of your relatives stay in the same state as you are, it’s still hard to meet up because everyone got their lives going on and having their own schedule. That’s why I think it’s nice that in the Asian culture, all of us just cramped up in the same house during big festivals like Raya.
yup mine too.. n 1st day aid just like kenduri... kat dapo kene ready tukang cuci pingan🤪🤣 meriah tapi boleh tahan penat sbb mai by group setiap group tak kurang 10 org...
But that's the best part of growing up!! My hari raya memories. But those uncle and anuties who live in the hometown state sleep at their house. They come the night before raya n in the morning
@@afiqdanielmohamed4406 depending to the families too... modern grandparents they might not want the children do sleepover but most grandparents preferred their children and grandchildren to stay at thier home.
It's an annual tradition here in Malaysia, be it the Hari Raya (for the Muslims), Chinese New Year (for the Chinese), Diwali (for the Hindus), Hari Gawai, or Pesta Kaamatan (Sarawak & Sabah), or Chrismas (for the Christians), there will be an exodus of people 'balik kampung' or going back to their hometown to visit their parent/grandparent/the elderly whereby some do stay at hotels but mostly stayed at their parents/grandparents house. It's like an annual gathering for family dinner as well as for fostering closer family ties. Cousins knowing cousins, aunties, uncles, grandparents, etc. as to ensure families remain steadfast together. It's also kind of a humbling experience going back to your roots, where it all began. Sadly for the past year during this pandemic, mostly are unable to continue this tradition. This tradition continues with the open house tradition (please react to TNB Raya 2019 - Konvoi Epik Fantastik th-cam.com/video/WrcbJ22crAE/w-d-xo.html ).
Its called Malaysian hospitality. We love to serve for our guest. In this case, Eid is considered the biggest festivity hence the elderly wont let any family members left out. However, i must say this advertisement kinda exegerated because with that size of family its quite imposible to fit everybody in, let alone considering the halal gap (privacy) among family members. These days, a lot of kampong houses offer homestay service within the radius of the owner's house. You can find alot of kampong homestay in Airbnb for short visit throughout the year. But Eid is the peak season, not just for homestay but hotels in nearby town as well. Malaysian still practice this culture till today because we believe in strong family bonding esp when u can only do it once a year unles if we're able to do family day vacation every 1 or 2 years. Note: sandals been used daily, shoes for casual/official outing only.
The 'movie' they were watching is not a real movie, but it features Jero the Cat, which appears in all of TNB's festival ads - Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali etc. It's like a running gag. :) You have to watch all the festival ads in order to get Jero's own storyline! The text at the end of the ad translates roughly to, 'All the noise and commotion with your family is what makes Hari Raya meaningful and happy'. edited: Jero's story starts in the TNB Raya 2017 ad. :)
LOL asian gathering is a whole another level. hotel is the last option. you wanna squeeze in as much relative as possible under one roof during Raya week. not a night, an entire week. yes, privacy wise it's suck. but Raya day will be so much fun
Raya also mean Family gathering. We usually gather with all siblings at the parent's house and usually stays longer than 1 day. Sometime for 2-3 days before we switch home to our mother in law's house (for those who married...we usually have alternate stay). Raya eve will be the busiest for everybody when we'll prepare our festivity's traditional menu. Children will be busy with all their cousins and siblings playing sparks and fireworks. Lots of activities and chit chatting.
Usually most of malay family have 5 or 6 child, imagine that child is married and have another 5 or 6 grandchild, that's what happen here, when festive season like Raya Aidilfitri, all this child coming home to their village to celebrate the raya. Mostly the village house have a big living room so there is where the grandchildren sleep
7:50 that is a raya ad :) 9:29 it could be translate as *All the havoc when families gathered, brings out the 'festive mood' on/for the raya celebration*
It depends on the location and size of the house. Rumah kampung (village houses - the traditional wooden houses) are mostly on big lot or the houses are quite big. My grandma's house have spacious living and dining area and when my family, my aunties' and uncles' families all go there, most of us would just sleep all over the living room and dining area lol
Arif is that one cousin who stay in kampung with the Grandma and when Raya comes everybody like uncles, unties and cousins balik kampung filled the tiny kampung house
For malay people, during raya all children will return to their hometown and gathered at their parents house.. imagine if there are 6 or 7 siblings, together with their spouses and children, it can be 50 over people in one house! So this tv commercial is the real picture of normal scenario of a big malay family during raya. Not too much to say, in malay culture, it can be considered rude if you stay in hotel instead! Normally a traditional malay house has spacious living hall and kitchen and if it not enough, the ground level can be used. Although the house was built small at the beginning, overtime, the house will be extended to accommodate more familiy members and funded by all grown children. So enough space for everybody. In term of privacy, for malay people, during family event, we are not really into individual privacy, it is okay for us to share common space etc.
3:30 Yep, for most people, they're not originally from the city (especially KL), their parent still lives outside the city, in kampung (village) far away from the city. That's why in raya ad you usually see old house. Once a year, during raya, they'll to go back to kampung (village) and met with their parent, friends, relatives etc.
Hi Phezz & Miles.. Hope both of you, Enjoyed this video Actually, I really miss the Hari Raya atmosphere in the village, Celebrate with family and relatives😕😢 Insya'Allah, Maybe one day...
Aku selalu je pakai selipar kalau keluar pergi jalan2. Mak aku selalu marah kalau pakai selipar kalau pergi luar negeri ke atau bandar gitu. Aku redah je pakai selipar gi KL.
This is what we always say..'balik kampung' when eid mubarak time..where all the family members come back to hometown..reunite and get know more all the siblings cousins aunties uncles ..much more to share Thank you for the reaction
Those are a past. The last time I back to my hometown was three years ago. And the worse thing is my people from my hometown is positive covid. Sadness overwhelming.
TNB BERHAD is a company electricity of Malaysia. That words acronim TNB is 'Tenaga Nasional Berhad'. Tenaga in english is energy. Nasional is national. Berhad is similliar with Ltd that sometimes is looking from signboard office.
This is why we always say Raya festivals in the past were much better. Before television came into our lives in 1963, most of us lived in houses on stilts in the village where is it possible to share everything that we have. Once we desire to have houses like the westerners, to accommodate overnight guests become not feasible. That is why everyone love to return to the villages during the Raya festival not only to have close interaction with relatives but the whole village. Maybe we can do it again once we ascended to the 4D where we can create holographic houses, but it can never be the same like in the 50s and the 60s.
It's more like a tradition, as Eid is meant for everyone to get together and ask for forgiveness from eachother.. "Eid Fitr" literally means getting back to your true self, your roots..as such "Balik Raya" or going back to your hometown is a norm where we get together with different generations of the family. It's more like Thanksgiving instead of Christmas, where we have lots of food and catch up with eachother.
We do wear sandals and it is tradition for families/relatives to stay over at their family members' house during the festivities. The Jero cat movie is a continuous gag movie in all TNB's funny raya ads. The translation for the quote (I think so): Roistering with family, Invites happiness in Hari Raya. Please react to the TNB: Epik konvoi fantastik. This is also a Raya tradition that we used to do before the pandemic hits.
Come Raya, we stayed the nite! We wanted to. We slept on Futons in the living room, all rooms except the kitchen of course 😆. We did meet. We did see each other often, but come RAYA, we became bees. Hehe. Before Covid, that is. 😭😭😭
I have 11 siblings, if possible, we will arrange our schedule so that we can back to our home village.. Imagine if one of us have 2 childrens + 1 wife/husband.. 11 siblings + 11 wife/husband + 22 childrend = 44 + 2 parents.. Very havoc but we happy, we chit chat, prepare for raya
My mother side her had 19 siblings and I have a 2 grandma...when Raya celebration comes, the house will full with my uncles, aunts and cousins at least 50 people at a time. Not all of them, but some who far from home will stay at night..it may feeling crowded but it's a way to keep connection with big family once a year
Jero the Cat, I'd say more like a cameo. Because it appears almost in all the TNB's festival ads/short-film. The word kind of says something like, noisy and disorderly together with family is what brings the light of joy in Hari Raya (Eid Mubarak). Not the exact translation of course, but I could say it close enough.
the tradition is we go back to our grandparents’ places and yes stay the bight(s)!! during the day, we would go around visiting other relatives nearby ;p in the modern world of course there are ppl who stay in nearby hotels though.
Guys this is kampung, village is always like this especially the elderly are there...this is why Malaysia stressed up because of the lockdown because we can celebrate with family
It's normal here in Malaysia. I love going back to my mom every opportunity I hv with my siblings n their kids. The house will be so noisy, the kitchen will so busy cooking non stop. All teenage girls will sleep in the bedroom, the boys in the living room. It's fun!
What you watched in this ad was typical for Malaysian family here. But it usually only for siblings, and not any extended family. We would go to our grandparent's house during Eid and stay there for a night or two. Coming from a huge family, I could assure that this ad is legit. My late grandfather had 15 children from 2 wives, and each child has 5 children on their own averagely so that makes us a lot lol
This is South East Asia, family is everything. You dont offend your family by making them bunk in a hotel. Everybody will come together for festivities and weddings. Thats how much we love our family.
You can stay at a hotel but you have to talk to the elders and convince them that you'd be back so early in the morning that they won't even notice you're gone. Sometimes you just want to be considerate of other people but the elders would feel offended as if you dont want to stay at their house.
especially if you cook yourself with your relatives .... You will feel ascetic means cooking yourself from the results of sweat points produced together ... It will be a very best thing ever
Actually those village house in this ads were exactly like my village.. Both my parent had 12 siblings, and my father & mother coincidently were 9th son/daughter in the family.. i got like 100++ relatives (cousins).. but since both my grandparent already passed away.. its hard to reunite with other relative 😢😢😢 only raya which is once a year do we meet each other but now with this covid 19.. we just can meet relatives that were living close with us.. i miss them, those who lives far away.. hope this c19 will end and we will meet again
As more Muslims are aware and knowledgeable of the do's and don't's in Islam ..nowadays,this kind of "tradition" is disappearing... As it is forbidden in Islam to expose your aurat(areas of your body that need to be covered.For women,their aurat is their whole body except the face and hands..For men,their aurat is areas between their navel to the knees) and to shake hands and give hugs(different sexes) to the following people: 1.Sisters in law 2.Brothers in law 3.Adopted sons 4.Adopted daughters 5.Nephews and nieces of your husband or your wife 6.Husband or wife of your aunt or uncle 7.Cousins 8.strangers It is quite difficult to "protect" our aurat if all of us stay in one place.. So..nowadays when we go back to see our parents during Hari Raya holidays, we either stay in homestays or hotels ..or..the ladies will stay with our parents (if our parents stay alone)..and the men will stay in homestays and hotels..
T last part meaned.. Its havoc n loud.. But those things a family bond n cherish during eid.. Appreciate family bond.. Tat our tradition.. BANGSA MALAYSIA
riuh-rendah bersama keluarga,mengundang seri di Hari Raya. SALAM AIDILFITRI noisy with the family,inviting *seri* at the feast. EID MUBARAK I don't know how to translate *seri* so i'm gonna tell you what it means. if berseri mean glow so seri mean bright or something like that but in the sentence it a metaphor for happy. i'm not really good at explainning so i hope you guys get it.😅
It depend on that family if they went rent a homestay or not but this is about hari raya or we Malay called it "balik kampung" or going back to hometown to celebrate hari raya with our grandparents anyway about that movie I never seen it before , I think it just for this video only
The asian mentality here. Family and that means absolutely everyone within that family its almost obligatory to go back and stay there. Not my way though
Well in Malaysia, Malay with big family, Yes we will stay for a week at home for Eid celebration. Women will sleep inside the room or living room, man and boy will sleep outside near kitchen, and at the terrace, car porch. Our grandparents will be Sad if we sleep at hotel.. unless we make a planned to make family days. Before Eid Celebration, We will get task instruction to do a job list, like me i got to help cutting vegetables, and prep the ingrediants for rendang ketupat. My cousin got a task to iron all out clothes for raya. Make 5 person in group to manage the task before Eid celebration. We love the chaotic mess and fun. 🥰☺️
Hotels? Do you want to get killed by your relatives/grandparents? We Malaysian's are expected to camp in the house if we don't have enough space. We'll make the space.
Tenaga Nasional Berhad - National Power Limited Ariff wake up it is not good to over sleep.... bla bla bla Staying at a Hotel will be faux pas for the parents.. Tradisional parents will feel hurt if you do not stay at least 2 or 3 nites... I think this is where the parent is the eldest... (grandma and granpa have died... or grandma and grandpa stays here)... So all siblings will gather at the eldest place including neices and nephews...
It's a tradition that the children and grandchildren to gather during Raya for 2 or 3 days. No matter how cramped, there's always space for everybody. After all we only do this once a year. It's a matter of making the elders happy that we care for them and come back and spend the festivities with them. Otherwise they will be lonely and spend it only the two of them. The first boy is one of the grandchild who happens to live with grandma. As a youngster they hate their privacy being encroached by his young brats cousins who comes from the city and are snobbish 😄. But after time, it is not that bad at all! 😄. Staying away at a hotel is a NO NO!
We Malaysians hv bigger families. Like 13 altogether . Some got married have kids etc so that why there are a lot of people . But nowadays , if you hv 5 kids , consider a lots . Not like those days
There always have a hotel everywhere in Malaysia. But this is Malaysian family. Once a year stay with family.
Correct
Our granparents will be offended if we stay at the hotel
They totally would😤😂
So true..🤭
Yuppp
Yeahhh

Not stay for a night but for a week🤣 i mean until the cuti raya ends

Ahhh... those were the days. I miss both sides of grandparents. Family IS important.
Once or twice in a year everyone have to gather at the grandparents house it's not miserable at all it's fun
We love to gather..not only during Hari Raya Festival..we always gather if we have time..
During raya we prefer use sandals bcause we never wear a shoes in a house - easier to visited multiple house
We have a hotel but mostly we purposely stay at a crowded houses to know each other and its more fun - it only take 1-2days only
No its not a real movie 🤣
That's an add for 2017
Yeah, i noticed that miles got a cold..he sounds like not so good. Miles i hope you take your med & get well !
like home alone movie.
Im waiting for u guys to make a reaction on this tnb ads
Can you react to video titled WWF-Malaysia Camera Trap Photos from Wildlife Monitoring Unit (WMU) to learn so many cool and amazing species of animals native to Malaysia? You gonna love it!!
This is Malaysia🇲🇾 bro✌😷✌
Consider rude to stay at hotel during any holiday. Stay home. That the place we are born and raised. Very unrespecful to parent if we stay hotel. Know our root.
Please react to short drama comedy...Mr kokom bukan anakmu
good luck trying to get a hotel in a "kampung". they rarely exist.
Nowadays we have homestays in some villages so some may chose to put up the night there instead. The video was rather a bit exgerated in modern times.
mostly now in every village got homestay actually...
The movie in the tv is not a movie sorry
amogus ඞ

😂that normal,right
My paternal grandmother has 12 children. Imagine the chaos in her house with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
I’m not sure about everyone else but my grandparents will be so upset if we sleep at the hotels during Raya.
Raya is like a festivals for us to finally meet each other, catch up with each other lives and just spend time together. It’s hard to meet your extended families if it’s not during the festivals, some will live in different states and even if some of your relatives stay in the same state as you are, it’s still hard to meet up because everyone got their lives going on and having their own schedule.
That’s why I think it’s nice that in the Asian culture, all of us just cramped up in the same house during big festivals like Raya.
Same here🤭
yup mine too.. n 1st day aid just like kenduri... kat dapo kene ready tukang cuci pingan🤪🤣 meriah tapi boleh tahan penat sbb mai by group setiap group tak kurang 10 org...
Agree..
“Does everybody stays the night?” They do. Like every single year 😭😭😭
yes
But that's the best part of growing up!! My hari raya memories. But those uncle and anuties who live in the hometown state sleep at their house. They come the night before raya n in the morning
Usually our grandparents love when the grandchildren stay at thier house.
Trueee
Sometimes not

FYI, hotels are everywhere in Malaysian cities and towns.
Traditions during Raya is to stay at the elders house.
It depends on the location and size of the house. Rumah kampung (village houses - the traditional wooden houses) are mostly on big lot or the houses are quite big. My grandma's house have spacious living and dining area and when my family, my aunties' and uncles' families all go there, most of us would just sleep all over the living room and dining area lol
rumah ibu kecik jer tapi meleret leret sambung kebelakang sampai nak sama pjg padang bola kannn sekali masuk lebih 50 org pon takperasan kan
Arif is that one cousin who stay in kampung with the Grandma and when Raya comes everybody like uncles, unties and cousins balik kampung filled the tiny kampung house
I used to spend the night at my grandma's place during raya. my uncles, family, aunts were all there too.
For malay people, during raya all children will return to their hometown and gathered at their parents house.. imagine if there are 6 or 7 siblings, together with their spouses and children, it can be 50 over people in one house! So this tv commercial is the real picture of normal scenario of a big malay family during raya.
Not too much to say, in malay culture, it can be considered rude if you stay in hotel instead!
Normally a traditional malay house has spacious living hall and kitchen and if it not enough, the ground level can be used. Although the house was built small at the beginning, overtime, the house will be extended to accommodate more familiy members and funded by all grown children. So enough space for everybody. In term of privacy, for malay people, during family event, we are not really into individual privacy, it is okay for us to share common space etc.
3:30 Yep, for most people, they're not originally from the city (especially KL), their parent still lives outside the city, in kampung (village) far away from the city. That's why in raya ad you usually see old house. Once a year, during raya, they'll to go back to kampung (village) and met with their parent, friends, relatives etc.
i love when my family stay together and malaysia also have a lot hotel but we choose to stay together
Hi Phezz & Miles..
Hope both of you,
Enjoyed this video
Actually,
I really miss the Hari Raya atmosphere in the village,
Celebrate with family and relatives😕😢
Insya'Allah,
Maybe one day...
Sandals been used daily. Shoes more to casual outing.
YES
Aku selalu je pakai selipar kalau keluar pergi jalan2. Mak aku selalu marah kalau pakai selipar kalau pergi luar negeri ke atau bandar gitu. Aku redah je pakai selipar gi KL.
@@adamharith782 sama lah kita.. lg skg ni.. kalau dulu pakai kasut utk kerja, lari atau senaman atau pergi jemputan..
This is what we always say..'balik kampung' when eid mubarak time..where all the family members come back to hometown..reunite and get know more all the siblings cousins aunties uncles ..much more to share
Thank you for the reaction
Those are a past. The last time I back to my hometown was three years ago. And the worse thing is my people from my hometown is positive covid. Sadness overwhelming.
it's malaysian culture,all family come together stay at night
Thats the difference between western culture comparing to Asian culture..this is the time when family gets together..
TNB BERHAD is a company electricity of Malaysia. That words acronim TNB is 'Tenaga Nasional Berhad'. Tenaga in english is energy. Nasional is national. Berhad is similliar with Ltd that sometimes is looking from signboard office.
This is why we always say Raya festivals in the past were much better. Before television came into our lives in 1963, most of us lived in houses on stilts in the village where is it possible to share everything that we have. Once we desire to have houses like the westerners, to accommodate overnight guests become not feasible. That is why everyone love to return to the villages during the Raya festival not only to have close interaction with relatives but the whole village. Maybe we can do it again once we ascended to the 4D where we can create holographic houses, but it can never be the same like in the 50s and the 60s.
That does sound great and makes a lot of sense!
It's more like a tradition, as Eid is meant for everyone to get together and ask for forgiveness from eachother..
"Eid Fitr" literally means getting back to your true self, your roots..as such "Balik Raya" or going back to your hometown is a norm where we get together with different generations of the family. It's more like Thanksgiving instead of Christmas, where we have lots of food and catch up with eachother.
It's real traditional Raya Malay...love it😘every year
We do wear sandals and it is tradition for families/relatives to stay over at their family members' house during the festivities. The Jero cat movie is a continuous gag movie in all TNB's funny raya ads. The translation for the quote (I think so): Roistering with family, Invites happiness in Hari Raya. Please react to the TNB: Epik konvoi fantastik. This is also a Raya tradition that we used to do before the pandemic hits.
Come Raya, we stayed the nite! We wanted to. We slept on Futons in the living room, all rooms except the kitchen of course 😆. We did meet. We did see each other often, but come RAYA, we became bees. Hehe. Before Covid, that is. 😭😭😭
Its one of culture when Raya we all stay together in one roof, and that time we all will talk about childhood, i mean isnt that great?
When there was no coronavirus.
I have 11 siblings, if possible, we will arrange our schedule so that we can back to our home village.. Imagine if one of us have 2 childrens + 1 wife/husband.. 11 siblings + 11 wife/husband + 22 childrend = 44 + 2 parents.. Very havoc but we happy, we chit chat, prepare for raya
My mother side her had 19 siblings and I have a 2 grandma...when Raya celebration comes, the house will full with my uncles, aunts and cousins at least 50 people at a time. Not all of them, but some who far from home will stay at night..it may feeling crowded but it's a way to keep connection with big family once a year
Save Palestine 🇵🇸
this is once in a year, were ok, we love to meet all the relatives and also make our grandparents happy.. 😊🇲🇾❤️
My fav ad , just like my family when raya or school holidays before Covid19
Jero the Cat, I'd say more like a cameo. Because it appears almost in all the TNB's festival ads/short-film.
The word kind of says something like, noisy and disorderly together with family is what brings the light of joy in Hari Raya (Eid Mubarak). Not the exact translation of course, but I could say it close enough.
Xpernah perasan pn cerita Jero dlm iklan TNB. No wonder laa sekarang kakak yg berlakon Jero tu pulak jd main lead dlm iklan TNB!
@@aimisakee867 😂😂😂... Asal iklan TNB je mesti cari si Jero tu...
the tradition is we go back to our grandparents’ places and yes stay the bight(s)!!
during the day, we would go around visiting other relatives nearby ;p
in the modern world of course there are ppl who stay in nearby hotels though.
In Malaysia, it's normal to see a hijabi heroin/ lead character as well as side characters in a drama or movie.
Its really usual to staying up at the grandparents house . Coz its much cheaper that way .
Guys this is kampung, village is always like this especially the elderly are there...this is why Malaysia stressed up because of the lockdown because we can celebrate with family
This is always the real "raya" in malaysia before the pandemic..
Hotel is the last option ..in case the house gonna "explode"😂😂
It's normal here in Malaysia. I love going back to my mom every opportunity I hv with my siblings n their kids. The house will be so noisy, the kitchen will so busy cooking non stop. All teenage girls will sleep in the bedroom, the boys in the living room. It's fun!
Please react to Ejen Ali Raya 2021: Misi Resepi 😭
Yes please
hotel always our last choice grandparents house our first place to sleep
What you watched in this ad was typical for Malaysian family here. But it usually only for siblings, and not any extended family. We would go to our grandparent's house during Eid and stay there for a night or two.
Coming from a huge family, I could assure that this ad is legit. My late grandfather had 15 children from 2 wives, and each child has 5 children on their own averagely so that makes us a lot lol
This is South East Asia, family is everything. You dont offend your family by making them bunk in a hotel. Everybody will come together for festivities and weddings. Thats how much we love our family.
Thats not a real movie..but the hijab woman character and cat are the 2017 Raya ad. Another funny ad. Honestly I like the 2017 more than 2018 ad. 😅
You can stay at a hotel but you have to talk to the elders and convince them that you'd be back so early in the morning that they won't even notice you're gone. Sometimes you just want to be considerate of other people but the elders would feel offended as if you dont want to stay at their house.
7:40 Jero from 2017 TNB raya ad "movie".. :)
especially if you cook yourself with your relatives .... You will feel ascetic means cooking yourself from the results of sweat points produced together ... It will be a very best thing ever
Actually those village house in this ads were exactly like my village.. Both my parent had 12 siblings, and my father & mother coincidently were 9th son/daughter in the family.. i got like 100++ relatives (cousins).. but since both my grandparent already passed away.. its hard to reunite with other relative 😢😢😢 only raya which is once a year do we meet each other but now with this covid 19.. we just can meet relatives that were living close with us.. i miss them, those who lives far away.. hope this c19 will end and we will meet again
As more Muslims are aware and knowledgeable of the do's and don't's in Islam ..nowadays,this kind of "tradition" is disappearing...
As it is forbidden in Islam to expose your aurat(areas of your body that need to be covered.For women,their aurat is their whole body except the face and hands..For men,their aurat is areas between their navel to the knees) and to shake hands and give hugs(different sexes) to the following people:
1.Sisters in law
2.Brothers in law
3.Adopted sons
4.Adopted daughters
5.Nephews and nieces of your husband or your wife
6.Husband or wife of your aunt or uncle
7.Cousins
8.strangers
It is quite difficult to "protect" our aurat if all of us stay in one place..
So..nowadays when we go back to see our parents during Hari Raya holidays, we either stay in homestays or hotels ..or..the ladies will stay with our parents (if our parents stay alone)..and the men will stay in homestays and hotels..
T last part meaned.. Its havoc n loud.. But those things a family bond n cherish during eid.. Appreciate family bond.. Tat our tradition.. BANGSA MALAYSIA
riuh-rendah bersama keluarga,mengundang seri di Hari Raya.
SALAM AIDILFITRI
noisy with the family,inviting *seri* at the feast.
EID MUBARAK
I don't know how to translate *seri* so i'm gonna tell you what it means.
if berseri mean glow so seri mean bright or something like that but in the sentence it a metaphor for happy.
i'm not really good at explainning so i hope you guys get it.😅
It depend on that family if they went rent a homestay or not but this is about hari raya or we Malay called it "balik kampung" or going back to hometown to celebrate hari raya with our grandparents anyway about that movie I never seen it before , I think it just for this video only
The asian mentality here. Family and that means absolutely everyone within that family its almost obligatory to go back and stay there. Not my way though
Well in Malaysia, Malay with big family, Yes we will stay for a week at home for Eid celebration. Women will sleep inside the room or living room, man and boy will sleep outside near kitchen, and at the terrace, car porch. Our grandparents will be Sad if we sleep at hotel.. unless we make a planned to make family days. Before Eid Celebration, We will get task instruction to do a job list, like me i got to help cutting vegetables, and prep the ingrediants for rendang ketupat. My cousin got a task to iron all out clothes for raya. Make 5 person in group to manage the task before Eid celebration. We love the chaotic mess and fun. 🥰☺️
Hotels? Do you want to get killed by your relatives/grandparents? We Malaysian's are expected to camp in the house if we don't have enough space. We'll make the space.

Ariff wake up it is not good to over sleep.... bla bla bla
Staying at a Hotel will be faux pas for the parents..
Tradisional parents will feel hurt if you do not stay at least 2 or 3 nites...
I think this is where the parent is the eldest... (grandma and granpa have died... or grandma and grandpa stays here)...
So all siblings will gather at the eldest place including neices and nephews...
It's a tradition that the children and grandchildren to gather during Raya for 2 or 3 days. No matter how cramped, there's always space for everybody. After all we only do this once a year. It's a matter of making the elders happy that we care for them and come back and spend the festivities with them. Otherwise they will be lonely and spend it only the two of them. The first boy is one of the grandchild who happens to live with grandma. As a youngster they hate their privacy being encroached by his young brats cousins who comes from the city and are snobbish 😄. But after time, it is not that bad at all! 😄. Staying away at a hotel is a NO NO!
We Malaysians hv bigger families. Like 13 altogether . Some got married have kids etc so that why there are a lot of people .
But nowadays , if you hv 5 kids , consider a lots . Not like those days
that is real situation in village at night before the Raya Festival tommorrow
Only family members will occupy the house during Hari Raya festive👍💕
This is about muslim festival called Aidilfitri, normally during this festive all family must going back to hometown ...
