What is the name for the green envelopes containing money that are given to children and unmarried adults by married family members during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration?

'Duit raya' (literally 'celebration money') is the Malay-Muslim equivalent of the Chinese 'ang pow' tradition, and has become a beloved custom for children who collect the envelopes from relatives during open-house visits.
