This year's Eid in Malaysia is so fascinating pop culturally - so for the respective language markets, Malaysian songwriters have been quietly (??) dominating the respective markets when it comes to festival songs (eg China gets our CNY music; Indonesia gets our Raya music; even southern India I think gets our Deepavali music but more commonly our people pen songs for their movies too) but it's always been quite separated for natural reasons. This year though I'm seeing more confluence. This isn't even the first Chinese Malaysian Raya song for 2025 that got on my feed lol. I think we're all collectively warming up to the upcoming Kongsi Raya (CNY and Eid will fall on the same set of days lmaoooo and naturally that's a pun on Gong Xi - as kongsi raya literally means "shared festival/holiday") from 2029 to 2031. We're going to be so stressed and useless
