PUTRAJAYA, April 20 (Bernama) -- Some 2,000 packs of bubur lambuk (savoury porridge) were distributed to the staff of the Communications and Multimedia Ministry (K-KOMM) through the ‘Seri Ramadan Bubur Lambuk Resepi Istimewa’ programme today.

The programme, organised by the ministry’s branch of the National Association of Wives of Civil Servants and Women Civil Servants (PCK-KOMM), was led by its chairman, Datin Seri Hairani Mohd Tajudin.

The porridge was prepared using the special recipe of Hairani’s late mother who hailed from Penang, at the ministry’s complex here.

K-KOMM secretary-general Datuk Seri Mohammad Mentek who is also PCK-KOMM adviser was present to help stir the porridge at about noon, before distributing them to the staff.

In his speech, Mohammad said the annual programme involved the cooperation of agencies under the ministry and was the result of the Keluarga Malaysia (Malaysian Family) aspiration, aimed at strengthening the bond between all agencies.

“I would like to thank all PCK-KOMM members for their commitment and hard work in cooking five pots of bubur lambuk since this morning,” he said.

The programme was also attended by the staff of agencies under the ministry such as the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM), Information Department, Tun Abdul Razak Institute of Broadcasting and Information (IPPTAR) and the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS).
