KUCHING: More than 2,000 city residents here attended the Juh Berambeh Sungkei@Kuching 2024 at the Padang Merdeka on Saturday.
Minister of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development (MYSED), Datuk Seri Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said this was the second time such a programme was held since last year and it had received a positive response from the community.
“Alhamdulillah, the weather today is good. I believe that this programme is such a success because it is the weekend and there are many people doing their shopping in preparation for the Hari Raya celebration. They are thus able to join in the breaking of fast,” he told the media during the event.
At the same time, the people were also able to join the “Tazkirah Ramadan” lecture that was delivered by popular preacher Datuk Karim Elias, who was specially invited for the occasion.
