PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was joyfully "mobbed" by excited schoolchildren eager to catch a glimpse of him when he stopped at a food stall here for lunch before performing Friday prayers.
His arrival at the An-Najah Precinct 9 stall at around 12.45pm Friday (July 12) was warmly received by the crowd, particularly the enthusiastic schoolchildren from the nearby SK Putrajaya Presint 9 (2).
As the Prime Minister, clad in a light blue Baju Melayu, arrived at the stall, the schoolchildren excitedly rushed to shake hands with him.
Anwar spent about 30 minutes savouring a variety of dishes at the stall, accompanied by An-Najah Cooperative secretary Zainal Mohd Yusoh.
After lunch, Anwar made his way to the nearby Surau An-Najah, located about 60m from the stall to join nearly 1,000 congregants for Friday prayers.
Surau Imam Hazim Malim led the Friday prayers and delivered a sermon entitled "Perihal Mizan”. – Bernama
