IPOH: In conjunction with Teachers' Day on Friday (May 16), educators will be given the honour of reading the sermon in mosques in Perak.
Perak Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPk) president Tan Sri Mohd Annuar Zaini (pic) said in a statement that Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah, has given consent to 115 teachers to fulfil the role of "khatib” to deliver the sermon.
"This is in recognition of the important role of educators. The state Education Department director has given the names of 115 education service officers in Perak to be submitted to the Sultan of Perak for His Royal Highness' consent," he said on Thursday (May 15).
