PUTRAJAYA, March 10 — Over 10,000 people gathered at Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque here to break fast with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar arrived at the mosque compound around 7pm and was welcomed by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Mohd Na’im Mokhtar.
The event, which began at 5.30pm, was jointly organised by the Islamic Development Department, Putrajaya Corporation (PPj), and 13 religious affairs agencies.
According to a statement from Na’im’s office, the programme served as a platform to engage with scholars, religious figures, the general public, and the underprivileged during Ramadan, fostering goodwill and unity.
“This event is a clear reflection of Islamic teachings, which promote compassion, mutual respect, and support,” the statement read.
The event featured a nasheed performance by Rabbani and a spiritual talk titled “Ramadan Pemacu Ummah Madani” delivered by Pahang deputy mufti Datuk Badlishah Alauddin.
Na’im also presented duit raya to 120 underprivileged people from Bukit Bakong, Sepang, as well as contributions to nine “pondok” institutions.
Among those present were Anwar’s wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa, and PPj president Datuk Fadlun Mak Ujud.
