Everyone is usually dressed out in their traditional Baju Melayu for men and for the women, Baju Kurung, is the prefered choice.
Hari Raya is also a time to forgive and forget past quarrels. The younger members of a family approach their elders (parents, grandparents etc) to seek forgiveness, to "salam" (Muslim equivalent of a handshake), then kiss the hands of the older person as a sign of respect.
The usual greeting with a handshake "salam" during Aidilfitri is “Selamat Hari Raya”, which means “Wishing you a joyous Hari Raya”.
