Through his childhood in Brunei Darussalam, Jaz could feel the strong enthusiasm of the people in Brunei and Indonesia in welcoming the arrival of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. There are even some similar traditions in celebrating victory day.
"There are some similar habits that I saw in Brunei and Indonesia, such as the tradition of buying new clothes, the tradition of returning to the hometown, visiting graves, and Halal bihalal. Even in Brunei, there is an open house for Halal bihalal for a full month. There are some traditions that I really want to see if there is a chance, such as Grebeg Syawal in Yogyakarta or Bakar Lemang Bambu in Sumatra," he added.
