LENGGONG, May 21 — The Sultan of Perak Sultan Nazrin Shah today attended an Aidilfitri celebration hosted by Kota Tampan Assemblyman Datuk Seri Saarani Mohamad, who is also Perak Menteri Besar, at the MARA High Skills College here.

Meanwhile, Saarani, in his speech, said the Covid-19 pandemic brought great wisdom to the people in that only with consensus and the spirit of togetherness, could they overcome any trials and challenges.

"Following the transition to the endemic phase since April 1, citizens, especially Muslims, could re-establish the ambience of Aidilfitri by reviving the tradition of visiting and holding open houses after the two-year constraints due to the Covid-19 pandemic," he said. — Bernama
