KUALA LUMPUR, June 20 — Istana Negara distributed sacrificial meat to over 1,000 asnaf and staff in conjunction with the Aidiladha celebration here today.
Comptroller of the Royal Household Datuk Zailani Hashim said the sacrificial meat was among the gifts from His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, who graciously donated 10 cows for this year’s Aidiladha.
Three more cows were donated by facility management company GFM Services Bhd and palace staff who participated in the sacrificial ritual, he said.
“This marks one of the largest numbers of sacrificial cows ever organised by Istana Negara for Aidiladha. We are very grateful. His Majesty is very generous and likes to contribute,” he told Bernama after the distribution.
Zailani said the programme aims to ease the burden on needy families while fostering harmony and a spirit of mutual assistance.
