Of kuih raya, buffets and everything in between
Yes, Hari Raya is just round the corner and this is when the frenzy of doing Raya shopping overtakes Raya itself. I was in the heart of K.L. just to catch a glimpse of all the craziness that was a ritual with every major celebration in this country.
The roads leading to K.L. were crammed because

Indonesian Student Association Sets Example
UCSI University’s Indonesian Student Association set a good example in aiding the needy by heading a fund-raising effort for the earthquake victims at Padang, West Sumatera. The donation was organized with the slogan ‘BUY=DONATE’.
During the two day event, which was held on the 14th & 15th October, students and staffs were able to experience Indonesia’s traditional food and drinks. The organizers also came up with a creative way to attract UCSI University’s students to donate, by setting up a Nintendo Wii booth for them to play games. Accessories and clothes from Indonesia were also on sale to facilitate the fund-raising event.
The second day saw a singing performance by the students from the Indonesian Student Association. The soloist, Fitria Deborah, a final year Mass Communication student, performed a series of songs including Michael Jackson’s, ‘Heal The World’ (this wasn’t the song she sang solo). Along with the performance, photographs from the Padang earthquake tragedy were also put on show.
According to Yudith Pasaburi, President of the Indonesian Student Association, the students started the fund-raising right after they received news of the disaster. “It was our way of making a difference, our way to help out.”
The funds collected from the donations were passed to the Indonesian Embassy in Malaysia to aid in the catastrophe.
