MELAKA: Melaka Christians rally to feed the underprivileged community during the "Bless Melaka Carnival" that will be held on Saturday (Nov 9).

"Bless Melaka Carnival 2024 is a special event designed to uplift underprivileged communities in the state through an exciting day of food, fun and entertainment.

"This event aims to spread joy and showcase goodwill to the community," he said in an interview on Thurs (Nov 7).
