Dr Wee: Ramadan more heartfelt with borders reopening

PETALING JAYA: Ramadan will be more heartfelt this year due to the reopening of borders, the relaxation of standard operating procedures and the transition to the endemic phase of Covid-19, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic).

The Transport Minister conveyed his wishes to all Muslims as they observe Ramadan beginning Sunday (April 3).

“Happy Ramadan to all Muslims. May this holy month bring blessings to all,” he said in a Facebook post on Saturday (April 2).

Muslims in Malaysia will begin the Ramadan dawn-to-dusk fast on Sunday (April 3).

Sightings of the moon will be held in 29 locations nationwide, including in Pontian Kecil, Johor and the Falak Al-Khawarizmi Complex in Kampung Balik Batu, Tanjung Bidara, Melaka.

Muslims in the country have spent the last two Ramadans under strict SOPs due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which will be relaxed this time under the transition to the endemic phase that began on Friday (April 1).
