PUTRAJAYA: A report stating that the result of the Syawal moon observation on May 2, 2022, to decide the date of Hari Raya Aidilfitri last year was null and void, is untrue, says the Islamic Development Department (Jakim).

In a statement issued on Thursday (April 13) in response to the report, the agency said this was because the result of the observation was in compliance with the procedures set by the Office of the Keeper of the Ruler’s Seal.
