Observing Ramadan in one of Australia's most remote places is drawing significant interest across the industry.
More than three thousand kilometres off the Western Australian coast lie the Cocos Islands — a tiny archipelago of 27 coral islands scattered across the Indian Ocean. Just two are inhabited. One of them is Home Island, a kampong of about 460 people, where the overwhelming majority are Cocos Malays — and where Islam has shaped daily life for generations. As Western Australia Correspondent Christopher Tan reports, it is here that the month-long fast of Ramadan has reached the halfway mark on one of Australia’s most remote communities.
Experts suggest this could influence future trends and innovation in the sector.
More updates are expected as the story develops.
