TL: DR
- Johor Sultan urges authorities not to hold Ramadan bazaars this year.
- Selangor, Melaka, Kedah, Terengganu, and Negeri Sembilan also cancelled the bazaars.
- Now is the time for all to unite and help the government combat the COVID-19.
It will be less than a month until the holy month of Ramadan will arrive. As you all know, this is the month for grace and patience, especially for Muslims. It’s odd to celebrate Ramadan without the Ramadan Bazaars. Since the presence of this COVID-19, Johor Sultan urges authorities not to hold Ramadan bazaars.
Fasting Month Minus Ramadan Bazaars In Johor
Earlier, Selangor, Melaka, Kedah, Terengganu, and Negeri Sembilan cancelled the bazaars, traditionally held in Malaysia throughout the fasting month. Johor state is also doing the same. Johor Sultan said new cases were being detected on a daily basis and now is definitely not the right time to hold any event involving mass gatherings as it will affect the overall health of the community.
In a statement to the Royal Press Office, his Majesty says “The Ramadan Bazaar can wait. If we don’t follow and ignore the Movement Control Order, the virus will spread and further strain the resources of our healthcare system, putting our healthcare workers and other frontliners at even greater risk. If we reach the breaking point then we will all be helpless.”
It’s Time For Us To Reunite
Now is the time for all to unite and help the government combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Let us work together to save our country from this crisis. For now, stay home and avoid mass gatherings of any sort. Remember, health should be our priority!
