SHAH ALAM, May 1 — The Jelajah Kita Selangor Aidilfitri open house programme in Hulu Selangor on April 29 has been considered a success by its local authority, as over 10,000 guests were in attendance.
The Hulu Selangor Municipal Council (MPHS) extended its highest thanks to all councillors, employees, departments, agencies, and the offices of the state constituencies, who took part in realising the programme at Padang Taman Awam Hulu Bernam.
“Not forgetting all the residents of Hulu Selangor, who attended the #KitaSelangor Aidilfitri Open House. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir dan Batin,” it said in a Facebook post.
Running from 8pm to 11pm, the open house featured over 30 stalls serving a variety of dishes including grilled lamb, satay, honey grilled chicken, lemang, rendang, flavoured cordials, and many more.
Visitors were also entertained by performances from guest artists Jay Jay and Iman Troye, as well as dances and performances by SMK Taman Bunga Raya students.
