In Malaysia, the current movement control order has made it tricky to prepare for our Raya needs. That includes shopping for new kitchen appliances, furniture, and Raya clothes that we're accustomed to doing in person at a physical store. Since it's important to stay indoors and practise social distancing to flatten the curve of COVID-19, let's make the best of our situation by shopping online. If you're excited to browse for the best Raya deals and promotions, check out these online shops in Malaysia to kick-start your Raya shopping!
