With Hari Raya Aidilfitri less than a week away, many households are preparing for the festivities, though some, particularly the underprivileged, may face financial constraints.
To ease the burden on poor and needy families, Samima Sdn Bhd joined efforts to support the community by donating to selected families and orphans in the country.
The donations were presented at a Doa Selamat ceremony at the Suri Seri Begawan Raja Pengiran Anak Damit (MSSBRPAD) Mosque yesterday, where 20 underprivileged families and 16 orphans from the surrounding area received contributions.
Organised in collaboration with the MSSBRPAD Mosque Takmir Committee, the event was graced by Pehin Orang Kaya Lela Pahlawan Major General (Rtd) Dato Paduka Seri Haji Mohd Jaafar bin Haji Abdul Aziz as the guest of honour.
Advisor to the MSSBRPAD Mosque Takmir Committee Dato Paduka Haji Idris bin Haji Abas was also in attendance.
The ceremony began with the recitation of Surah Al-Fatihah led by imam Muhammad Khaizuran Amali bin Haji Kamsani, who also delivered the Doa Selamat and Doa Allah Peliharakan Sultan dan Negara Brunei Darussalam.
The guest of honour along with Dato Paduka Haji Idris and Samima Group Manager
Haji Hidhayatullah bin Haji Tajudeen presented the donations.
The ceremony concluded with a Doa Selamat followed by the breaking of fast and mass Maghrib prayer. – Lyna Mohamad
