Anwar touched by creative Hari Raya cards from students


KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has expressed his appreciation to students and Malaysians for the creative Hari Raya Aidilfitri greeting cards sent to him in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri Saturday (March 21).

In a video shared on his official Facebook page Friday (March 20), the Prime Minister said each card received was more than just a greeting, but a sincere expression of remembrance and affection, adding that while small in form, they carried great meaning for him.

"Alhamdulillah, I am truly touched to receive various colourful Hari Raya cards showcasing the creativity of children, some with drawings, some even with lights, truly creative!

"My heartfelt thanks to all, I truly appreciate them. Salam Aidilfitri to everyone," he said.

In the more than three-minute video, Anwar was also seen reading several cards, including those from SK Muadzam Jaya in Pahang and Orang Asli pupils of SK Talang in Negri Sembilan, as well as cards sent creatively by using simple paper.

"Thank you. Even sending it like this (just using paper), posting it to me. Thank you to the postal service," he said.

At the end of the video, the Prime Minister also advised children not to forget the practice of greeting elders, kissing their parents' hands, and seeking forgiveness and prayers for wellbeing on the morning of Aidilfitri. - Bernama
