Meanwhile, Borhan said the state government plans to continue producing Hari Raya festive dramas next year, following this year’s success.
“Every year, we produce dramas. This year, we had ‘Ayah Panggil Balik’, aired for two weeks during Hari Raya, which received great response, with high ratings on TV2.
“Next year, we will continue with this plan, bringing the state government’s agenda nationwide through social media and other platforms.”
