SRI AMAN – The Sri Aman District Education Office (PPD), in partnership with the Kampung Tengah Sri Aman Victims Association, successfully carried out the 2026 Ibadah Korban Programme at the Kampung Tengah Futsal Court on Thursday, 28 May.
The event was marked by strong community participation, with 28 individuals, including education officials and local residents, taking part in the sacrificial ceremony.
Four cows were slaughtered as part of the programme, symbolising sincerity and shared responsibility within the community.
The initiative was designed to strengthen ties between education staff and the wider public, while also promoting the values of sacrifice, cooperation, and unity.
Organisers emphasised that such programmes serve as a platform to deepen mutual understanding and reinforce social bonds.
Activities began with a briefing on the religious significance of sacrificial worship, followed by the slaughtering process and meat preparation.
The distribution of meat was overseen by District Education Officer Tuan Haji Abdul Rahman bin Haji Muhiyuddin, who also presented a token of appreciation to the chairman of the Kampung Tengah Victims Association. The programme concluded with a photo session and a communal lunch.
Programme Coordinator Ustaz Syaifullah Ismail highlighted the importance of initiatives like this in nurturing both religious values and community spirit.
“The spirit of cooperation and gotong-royong shown throughout this programme is very proud and reflects the value of unity in the community,” he said.
District Education Officer Abdul Rahman expressed gratitude to all parties involved, noting that the success of the programme was a result of collective effort.
He added that similar activities should continue in the future to further strengthen the relationship between educational institutions and the local population. Beyond its religious significance, the programme also delivered social benefits.
Participants and organisers agreed that it fostered closer ties among neighbours, encouraged mutual assistance, and instilled values of concern and togetherness. Such outcomes, they noted, are vital for maintaining harmony and resilience within the community.
The Ibadah Korban Programme in Sri Aman reflects a broader effort to integrate educational institutions with local communities, ensuring that schools and offices are not only centres of learning but also active contributors to social cohesion.
