Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim will continue the tradition of the Madani Aidilfitri this year by celebrating Eid with the people in eight states.
His senior press secretary Tunku Nashrul Abaidah said the prime minister will start by heading to Malacca on April 5, which will also be the national-level celebration, followed by Selangor (April 6), Pahang (April 11), Kelantan and Penang (April 12), Sarawak (April 19), Perak (April 25) and Perlis (April 27).
“Just like last year, the Madani Aidilfitri celebration will be jointly organised by the federal government with the state government as the hosts.
“Insya-Allah, the prime minister will attend the celebration in all states, together with their menteris besar and chief ministers,” he said at the Prime Minister’s Office daily briefing, which was streamed live on Anwar Ibrahim and PMO Malaysia’s Facebook pages today.
Nashrul said the prime minister also invited all Malaysians to come together and celebrate noble values and the spirit of love, respect and goodwill that have been the pillar of Malaysia's strength for so long.
“The event is also an important platform to celebrate the differences and ease any racial and religious tensions among the people,” he said.
Joint hosts
The 2025 Madani Aidilfitri Celebration Secretariat in a statement said that the national-level celebration will be held at the Malacca International Trade Centre (MITC), Ayer Keroh, Malacca from 10am to 4pm.
It will be jointly organised by the state government as the host, and the National Unity Ministry as the lead ministry.
The statement said that in line with the theme “Ihsan Menyentuh Jiwa, Toleransi Menyatu Negara”, the event will reflect the government’s aspiration to strengthen noble values such as love, tolerance and respect among the multi-racial people in the country.
“It is hoped that it can instil a spirit of togetherness that transcends differences in background and understanding, in line with the desire to build a society that understands and appreciates each other,” the statement read.
National Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang said that this event will strengthen the relationship among people in this country and boost the spirit of mutual respect, understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity which is the core of national harmony.
“Aidilfitri is not just a religious festival, but also a manifestation of unity that encompasses all Malaysians regardless of religion, race and background.
“The public is invited to celebrate the national-level 2025 Madani Aidilfitri celebration with the prime minister.
“Interesting activities have been lined up for the event, such as the traditional games and people's sports competitions, government agencies’ exhibition booths, ethnic house exhibition and cross-cultural show, he said.
