What happens

Balik Kampung (English: "return to village") is a Malay term used in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei for the massive exodus during festive seasons such as Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Deepavali and Chinese New Year. During this time, migrants or migrant workers return to their hometown or village. In Indonesia, it is known as Pulang Kampung or Mudik. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
