IN a splendid celebration of faith, unity, and longstanding friendship, the Embassy of Malaysia hosted an exclusive “Iftar” event for members of the local media.
This year’s event was not just a testament to the sacred month of Ramadan, but also a commemoration of the 60th anniversary of robust bilateral relations with the Philippines, according to the deputation.Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is a period of profound spiritual significance for Muslims worldwide. It marks the month in which the Quran was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad: a time of fasting, reflection, and community.
The Iftar, or the meal with which the fast is broken at sunset, is a moment of joy and celebration shared with family, friends and the community. It begins with the eating of dates, followed by a prayer and a meal. This tradition not only embodies the spirit of Ramadan, but also fosters a sense of belonging and unity among those who participate.
Citing opportunities in growing infrastructure and development projects in the Philippines, the embassy, under its trade office MATRADE-Manila, coordinated the “Mid-Tier Market Immersion Mission” from March 12 to 15. During the immersion, five Malaysian mid-tier firms from the construction and building-materials sector participated in the immersion in Davao and Manila.
As for the halal sector, the embassy is now actively promoting the “Malaysia International Halal Showcase ,” to be held from September 17 to 20 in Kuala Lumpur.
