Why is returning home during Gawai and Aidiladha particularly meaningful for Malaysians?

Question

## Returning home during Gawai and Aidiladha is meaningful because it restores family time, reunion, and the rituals tied to each festival.

Accepted Answer

Returning home during these holidays matters because it gives Malaysians a rare chance to reunite with family after long gaps, especially when work, study, or travel costs keep them away. For Nurfatihah Sagir, 27, Aidiladha is a chance to make up for missing time with her family after not being able to return for Aidilfitri, while Lucia Terey John, 39, said Gawai is especially meaningful because she usually gets to go back to Sarawak only once a year.
