IT’S a week after Hari Raya Aidilfitri and house visits are still in full swing ... but the first thing to do when you arrive at someone’s house is to salam your hosts.
Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka’s Kamus Dewan may define it as a handshake, but every Hari Raya, this gesture takes on a deeper meaning, more than just a symbol of friendship.
