“Kampung Bintawa Tengah has undoubtedly set an inspiring example of unity, compassion and mutual cooperation, making this year’s sacrifice ceremony a resounding success.
“The local community’s efforts have ensured that the joyous occasion of Eid al-Adha is celebrated with utmost reverence and the spirit of giving continues to thrive.”
The Pantai Damai assemblyman added the meat from the slaughtered cow would be distributed to the asnaf (needy folk) to ensure the spirit of giving was upheld.
Also present were headman of Kampung Bintawa Ulu, Bujang Mohammad and deputy head of Pantai Damai Branch, Madehi Mas.
