SIBU, 15 March 2025 – The Ministry of National Unity, through the Department of National Unity and National Integration (JPNIN), is organizing the Jom Masak Bubur Lambuk Perpaduan and Iftar Harmoni events at 118 locations nationwide throughout Ramadan. This initiative aims to foster goodwill and unity among Malaysians, particularly in Rukun Tetangga (RT) areas.
Promoting Unity Through Ramadan Traditions
The event brings together people of all backgrounds to prepare and distribute Bubur Lambuk, a traditional porridge that is commonly shared during Ramadan. This program is not just about food—it’s about strengthening the spirit of togetherness and cooperation in local communities.
Minister of National Unity, YB Dato Sri Aaron Ago Dagang, emphasized the importance of unity, stating:
“National unity is the foundation of our country’s stability and prosperity. Ramadan provides us with an opportunity to demonstrate noble values such as mutual respect, helping fellow human beings, and giving without expecting anything in return. In this spirit, let us increase our efforts to build a united nation, where all its citizens live in harmony and cooperate with each other.”
118 Locations Nationwide Celebrate Togetherness
With 118 locations participating, this initiative allows people from diverse backgrounds to come together, cook, and break fast in a spirit of harmony. The Iftar Harmoni ceremonies create opportunities for cross-cultural understanding, strengthening Malaysia’s multi-ethnic society.
Community leaders, RT members, and volunteers actively participate in the event, reinforcing the importance of mutual respect and cooperation among Malaysians.
Unity in Diversity
The Jom Masak Bubur Lambuk Perpaduan and Iftar Harmoni programs are more than just Ramadan activities—they symbolize the essence of unity and solidarity in Malaysia. Through simple acts of sharing and giving, these programs help bridge communities and promote lasting friendships among Malaysians of different races and religions.
As Ramadan continues, more Malaysians are encouraged to participate in these programs to strengthen community bonds and uphold the nation’s values of unity and peace.
