Arrangement of hantaran
I noticed that nowadays people just don’t care how the hantarans are arranged. By right, the hantarans should be led by the “head” of the hantarans which is the sirih junjung or tepak sirih. Unfortunately, sometimes you see the sirih junjung being placed last in the line up of hantarans. It’s not wrong but it would be better if we try to preserve our adat melayu. Otherwise, the whole purpose of bringing the tepak sirih or sirih junjung would be meaningless. And if we don’t care for our own adat, who else will?
