Among the program's contents are Leadership Talks and Entrepreneurship Agendas; "The Founders Circle: From Ordinary Brands to Market Icons - Building, Strengthening and Scaling Brands in Today's Market Reality" as well as an Inspirational Relaxed Chat with Datuk Chef Wan. Fairul Nizam said the program, which brought together MARA leadership, business figures, entrepreneurs and the local community through various sharing sessions, was very timely in strengthening the Bumiputera economic and entrepreneurial agenda. "This program also serves as a strategic platform in expanding collaboration networks and sharing knowledge through forum sessions to empower and motivate the entrepreneurs who attend to further improve their businesses," he said. He hopes that all participants will take the opportunity to gather information and gain experience through the sessions that have been arranged, and then apply this knowledge towards further boosting their respective businesses. -- BERNAMA

PUTRAJAYA, May 27 — Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and his wife, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, today joined thousands of Muslims in performing Aidiladha prayers at the Putra Mosque in an atmosphere marked by simplicity, harmony and devotion. Anwar said the gathering was filled with the spirit of togetherness as congregants chanted the Aidiladha takbir and listened to a sermon titled “Sacrifice Demands Sincerity”. According to the Prime Minister, the sermon reminded Muslims that true sacrifice goes beyond wealth and physical effort, but also involves overcoming ego, arrogance, hatred and all negative traits that distance individuals from the blessings and guidance of Allah SWT. He added that the sermon also encouraged Muslims to strengthen ukhuwah, cultivate compassion and generosity towards others, and embrace the spirit of sacrifice as the foundation for building a united, caring and morally grounded society. After the prayers, Anwar and Wan Azizah took the opportunity to greet, shake hands and take photographs with congregants in celebration of the blessed occasion. The Prime Minister expressed hope that Aidiladha would continue to strengthen faith and piety, reinforce brotherhood among humanity and nurture the values of sacrifice and sincerity in daily life. “May this Aidiladha further strengthen our unity and commitment towards compassion, sincerity and service to society, Insya-Allah,” he said. -- MINUTESMY -- SOURCE : FB ANWAR IBRAHIM
