The Indian Association of Belait (IAB) in collaboration with YMRM Group of Companies and the Hindu Welfare Board organised a Tahlil and Doa Selamat ceremony on Saturday at the association’s main building, which saw 40 orphans and 20 single mothers across the Belait District receiving gifts in preparation for the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration.
Indian High Commissioner to Brunei Darussalam Alok Amitabh Dimri was the guest of honour.
The ceremony commenced with the recitation of Tahlil and Doa Selamat by Ahmaddani bin Haji Abdul Rahman, followed by the presentation of donations.
The high commissioner said he was blessed to be on stage once again at the association’s main building to celebrate the holy month with the local community, especially with orphans and single mothers. He hoped that the donations will help to enliven the Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration for the recipients.
The ceremony concluded with a mass breaking of fast. – Daniel Lim
