In stating this, Fama Sarawak director Ramli Mat Sani said the bazaar this year has some 72 participating entrepreneurs, and they have also set up a Ramadan Bazaar site at the Farmers’ Market in Permai, Sibu.

“These two strategic locations will be opened to the public throughout the month of Ramadan to enable them to get a variety of items and food for breaking fast.

“Collaborative initiatives such as Agrobazaar Online, Madani Combo Sales and Egg Sales are among the highlights of this year’s Ramadan bazaar,” he said when met during the launching of the programme at Medan Niaga Satok here yesterday.

Some 30 underprivileged people around Kuching received food donation from Fama Sarawak during the launching ceremony, where visitors were also given ‘bubur pedas’ as Ramadan treats.
