A green envelope (Malay: sampul hijau or sampul duit raya) is a Malay adaptation of the Chinese red envelope custom. During the festival of Eid ul-Fitr, Muslims in Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore, and Indonesia hand out money in green envelopes to guests who visit their homes.

How much should I give to duit raya?

But don't go without bringing a small gift or two. Typically, a small gift hamper would suffice. This will cost you anywhere from RM100 to RM500 (for supermarket standard ones) and RM500 – RM2000 (for hotel grade ones).
