PUTRAJAYA’s first of six Aidilfitri open houses saw an overwhelming turnout of thousands of people, and more are still coming to the event.
The Raia Hotel in Alor Setar, Kedah, was the venue for this grand celebration, with at least five massive tents, tables, and chairs arranged for the attendees.
But the internet was ignited by the photos of the Kedah Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor appearing at the event and sitting with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the same table with the Sultan of Kedah.
While hungry guests queued at the buffet line, where delicious dishes like kuey teow, mee hoon goreng, bubur cha cha, and satay awaited them, Twitter users were joking about Sanusi’s presence at the event.
Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil posted a photo of the Kedah MB standing next to him at the event.
The photo gained traction with many users commenting. Fahmi simply said: Selamat Hari Raya, maaf zahir batin.
