MAC 2026(RABU)  \nBERITA HARIAN  \nUTUSAN M'SIA  \nN.STRAITS TIMES  \nTHE STAR  \nSINAR HARIAN  \n# Teacher keeps physical Raya card tradition aliveNS74.3.2026 PG.(0\n\nJOHOR BARU:In an era of instant mes-saging and digital animations,a primaryschool teacher here is reviving the traditionof sending physical Hari Raya cards.  \nHafizul Syarafi Mohd Noor said the ges-ture carried a warmth that no digital mes-sage could replace.  \nFor the past five years,the 36-year-oldteacher at SK Taman Suria has mailedfestive cards not only to his friends butalso national leaders and members of roy-al households.  \nThe Sarawak-born educator said thisstemmed from a desire to preserve a tra-dition that is slowly being forgotten whileexpressing appreciation for the royal in-stitution.  \nHe typically posts the cards aweek beforeRamadan to ensure they are received and,if fortunate,replied to before Hari Raya.  \nHis greetings extend beyond Malaysia,with cards sent to acquaintances in In-donesia and Brunei,and his circle of con-tacts widening each year.  \nAmong his most treasured replies arethose bearing the crests of the royalhouseholds of Johor,Perlis,Kedah and  \nTerengganu.  \n\"At first,it was just for fun after I sawpeople exchanging Raya cards on socialmedia.But when the palace replied,I feltgenuinely honoured and appreciated.Sincethen,it has become my yearly practice.”  \nHafizul sets aside about RM300 yearlyto send roughly 40 cards.  \nEvery reply he receives is carefully pre-served in a personal archive.  \nWhile many now prefer festive greetingsin the form of .GIF files and mobile stick-ers,he said nothing could match the sen-timental value of a handwritten card.  \n“Aphysical card carries sincerity.It feelspersonal and is something you can hold,  \nkeep and remember.”  \nAs a member of the Facebook commu-nity Geng Pengumpul Kad Hari Raya,Hafizul said he exchanged cards with fel-low enthusiasts.  \nHe has also got his pupils interested andinvolved in the tradition.  \nAs a teacher of Bahasa Melayu,PhysicalEducation and Visual Arts,he said he usedletter-writing to improve his pupils'lit-eracy,fine motor skills and professionalcommunication etiquette.  \nHe hopes the younger generation willkeep the tradition alive and ensure thehumble Raya card does not fade intohistory.","cbCaitZnPVOFM5wq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitZnPVOFM5wq","pdf",992315,"English","#
