A few years ago (before I joined this site) I remember there was one year that we all somehow celebrated Eid on different days. People across the border had it one day earlier and people this side of the border having it a day later.. It made me wonder what moon was sighted or not sighted? Surely it would have been the same as we all share the same earth and looked at the same moon ...
In Malaysia, it seems very likely that w will be celebrating it on Sunday. For those who will be celebrating it on Sunday, (or Monday) here's wishing you a great and blessed time.
As long as my heart does beat, I shall live, not lie
For when my heart does stop its beat, with truth, I die.

As I remember, this change of starting of Ramadan and eid, it´s because of different methods to observe the moon.
Ruling on offering congratulations for Eid before it begins

[...]What appears to be the case from the actions of the Sahaabah and what has been narrated from them is that offering congratulations for Eid should come after the Eid prayer. So if a person limits it to that, that is good, as it is following the example of the Companions of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). But if he offers such congratulations before that, to be the first to give this greeting to his friend, it seems that there is nothing wrong with that, because offering congratulations for Eid comes under the heading of customs and traditions, and such matters are broad in scope and should be referred to the customs that are prevalent among the people.
