The large multi-racial turnout at the Aidilfitri open house hosted by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob and cabinet ministers at Seri Perdana today reflects the spirit of the Malaysian Family.
"The response was very good from various races, not only the Muslim people but also non-Muslims, are celebrating together, and this is the spirit of national unity that we should defend," said Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong.
"It reflects the spirit of the Malaysian Family. The public's acceptance of the concept of the Malaysian Family is very good," said Wee when met at the open house.
Themed “Raya Keluarga Malaysia, Syawal Dirai, Nikmat Disyukuri”, and featuring the village atmosphere concept, the event, from 9.30am to 4pm, is the first Aidilfitri open house hosted by Ismail Sabri after he was appointed as the prime minister on Aug 20, 2021, and his cabinet line-up.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Economy) Mustapa Mohamed said the large turnout of guests at the event was expected as it had not been held for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic restrictions.
"The weather is fine, foreign tourists are also here. The open house can serve as a foundation to strengthen unity among the people," he said.
Higher Education Minister Dr Noraini Ahmad said there were visitors and guests who travelled from far just to attend the open house.
"When I asked (visitors), most of them (came) from outside Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley, some came as early as 5am, they performed prayers and then went back to the line to get here (Laman Sari at Seri Perdana).
"They want to celebrate Aidilfitri after two years of not being able to do so and some also want to meet the prime minister personally," she said.
As of noon, about 30,000 people attended the open house.
Meanwhile, Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said the event celebrated the sacrifices of Malaysians in fighting the Covid-19 pandemic for more than two years.
“I am confident that Malaysians will continue to be vigilant and careful because this virus (Covid-19) is still with us,” he added.
