A mother was shocked to discover that her five-year-old daughter had received duit raya containing a note that read “Better luck next time”, calling the gesture “heartless” in a TikTok post.
The tradition of giving duit raya — packets containing money as gifts to family and loved ones during Hari Raya Aidilfitri — is often seen as a way to strengthen ties.
But this was not the case for TikTok user @hartinihariz, who shared a video of the discovery on March 30.
The 8-second clip shows a floral envelope that has been torn open, revealing a note that reads: “Better luck next time! Thks…”
In the caption, the user said the envelope had been given to her daughter during Hari Raya celebrations, but did not specify who it was from.
“This is not luck, this is heartless,” she wrote.
