He said the prizes and rewards will be given to the winner out of the nine districts.
“We will discuss the matter in a closed meeting and announce it soon next week. We would also like to thank everyone who were involved in organising the open houses including the guests who had attended and showed their support,” he said in a speech at the Hari Raya open house, here, last night.
During the event, the Menteri Besar had handed out duit raya to the children and mingled with the guests.
The event featured a performance by the Selangor Malay Customs and Heritage Corporation (Padat) and guests were treated with a variety of delicacies and beverages, including nasi impit, satay, rendang, ayam golek, kuey teow, pastries, and many more.
