Fasting and breaking fast @ Turkuaz

It's amazing how time flies. As of today all muslims would have been fasting for 10 days. With another 20 days to go, that's one third of the way done.

At Turkuaz the fasting month is especially trying for all the staffs as this happens to be our annual extremely peak season so we really appreciate all the staffs for having the dedication to serve customers with patience and with a smile.

The staffs are constantly on their feet and have to talk and promote the items to the customers, explain membership, member privileges and etc even though they had not had a drop of water in their mouth since morning.

They also have to put in extra working hours since we closed the shop 2 hours later than the usual time and they do not have any off days during the last 14days before raya. Also during the last 14days before raya all the staffs in the KL outlet work an extra 5 - 6 hours per night as we close shop at around 1-2am as there are still crowd in the Masjid India and Jln Tuanku Abdul Rahman bazaar ramadhan just behind us.

Hence all staffs really need to keep themselves in good health and the company always have medicine in stock like panadol, flu, cough and gastric medication but then again it's fasting month so many will bear with the pain until it's time to break fast.

Captured below is the daily breaking fast scene in Turkuaz at Jln TAR outlet when all the staffs sit around on 3 plastic "tikar". The company provides food for them on every weekends during the whole fasting month and daily during the last 14days. It's really a good time to build relationships and enjoy the camaraderie of sharing the happenings of the day and among their families.




To all our muslimah customers and friends we want to thank you for your continuous support to Turkuaz & Gulyn through the years and if there are any instances where our service or products falls short, we ask for your forbearance and forgiveness. Thank you and we wish you "Selamat Berpuasa" and in another 20 days "Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri" ;D
