Today marks the start of Ramadhan fasting month for Muslims around the world.  Fasting, one of the five pillars of Islamic faith, means more than not consuming food and drinks during the day.  This practice is a way to cleanse the mind from sensual desires and worldly cravings; it is a time of spiritual reflection for the purpose of purifying oneself.  We wish our Muslim friends “Selamat Berpuasa”.
