Happening from Sept 25 to Oct 2, Nafas 2021's hybrid programme will take on a mainly digital form, with free online content that will be streamed via Rakan Segari’s Facebook page. On-site activities will also be held for local communities in the Manjung district (about 60min from Ipoh) in the southwestern part of the state of Perak.
