About 10k attend Putrajaya’s open house in Kedah

 


At least 10,000 people have shown up at Putrajaya’s first out of six Aidilfitri open houses this year - with more trickling in.

The grounds of the Raia Hotel in Alor Setar, Kedah, have been set up with at least five massive tents with tables and chairs for the attendees, with smaller tents lined across the compound's perimeters.

Earlier, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim was seen making his rounds, greeting and mingling with the attendees.

At the same time, hundreds of attendees are lining up at the buffet line to take their food, which comprises kuey teow, mee hoon goreng, bubur cha cha and satay.

Posters spread across the area also show that tomato rice, ayam masak merah, daging masak kuzi, spiced fried chicken, and fruit acar are on the menu.

Kedah Menteri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor arrived at the venue solo at about 10.37am, after which he was seen shaking hands and taking photos with government ministers.

He was later spotted chatting with the prime minister and several cabinet members while waiting for the arrival of state ruler, Sultan Sallehuddin Sultan Badlishah, who arrived at 11am.

The group then entered the hall together. Sanusi and Anwar were seated on each side of the sultan at the main table.
