Raya has always been a festive time, marked by joyous reunions and celebratory feasts. However, the holiday is also synonymous with long journeys and inevitable traffic jams, as many travel back to their hometowns.
In Setiu, Terengganu, amidst such congestion on a sweltering Saturday, a watermelon vendor named Aiman brought unexpected relief to motorists trapped in their vehicles by freely distributing watermelons.
Aiman explained on social media that distributing the watermelon slices was his way of softening the harshness of the traffic for the motorists, helping make their wait a bit more tolerable.
He carefully prepared the watermelon slices, placing them on polystyrene plates, and handed them out to each passing vehicle, surprising many and earning their heartfelt thanks.
