PUTRAJAYA, March 29 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) today held its annual Ramadan corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme here with the theme ‘Indahnya Ramadan’, aimed at spreading joy and kindness within the Putrajaya community.

Held at the Dataran Putrajaya from 6 pm till 7 pm, the highlight of the programme includes the distribution of 1,000 food packs and goodie bags to visitors by Minister of Communications Fahmi Fadzil, reflecting the spirit of compassion and generosity that defines the month of Ramadan.
