A busy time in Singapore

Today is the start of a four day weekend for many Singaporeans as today is Hari Rayi Aidilfitri or Hari Raya Puasa and tomorrow is National Day. Many people have taken the advantage of the the extra long weekend and taken flights out of Singapore and the coaches to Malaysia have been booked out for weeks.
Hari Rayi Aidilfitri is the end of Ramadan and marks the end of a month of dawn to dusk fasting. This year because the holiday falls the day before National Day many shops have the traditional Hari Rayi green and yellow decorations as well as the red and white decorations for National Day.
