KUCHING (May 12): Residents of a suburban neighbourhood in Petra Jaya here have been going all out to uphold the ‘bertuntong’ tradition, while still observing Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri under the new norms.

Traditionally, ‘bertuntong’ involves decorating houses and the compounds, residential streets and arches, community halls, surau or mosque, or even community parks, with up to hundreds of ‘pelita’ (traditional oil lamps).
