Mohammad Iskandar Zul Akbar has been serving in the department for over 20 years with at least 10 Hari Raya celebrations being on active duty. “I do feel sad as I can’t celebrate with my family but our duty and responsibilities come first. To make up for the celebratory mood, those who remain behind celebrate modestly at the station. “We celebrate here with dishes such as rendang and lemang that were prepared together,” he said. “But I get to celebrate with our ‘family’ here,” he said, referring to his fellow colleagues on duty.
