More free bubur lambuk: UTHM Mosque

At the UTHM Mosque this morning, some volunteers were busy preparing bubur lambuk (rice porridge) that will given away after the Asar prayer today. So come early to get it. However, if you don't get your share, you can always come back next Wednesday.

Wet days in Parit Raja

The rainy season in the country has also affected Parit Raja. Heavy rains, strong wind and thunderstorms have hit this place for the past few days. There were fallen trees due to the strong wind and some roads in few parts in Parit Raja were hit by flash flood due to the heavy shower. Let's hope that such condition will not become worse like the one that affected this town in 2006 and early 2007 during the big flood in Johor.

The wet condition however has not dampened the spirit of Ramadhan among the Muslims in here. Life goes on as usual with the fasting during the day and tarawikh prayer and tadarus (recitation) of Quran every night at mosques and suraus around this place.

Wet week ahead for all states, says Met Dept 93Z6E2GM3BAK

The following news is taken from a report by The Star on Monday. Precautionary actions should be taken during this wet season.

"Showers and thunderstorms are expected over the peninsula until Aug 21, with early morning rain in coastal areas on the West coast,” said a meteorological officer Sunday.

The officer also said eastern parts of Sabah, like Sandakan and Kudat, would continue to be wet while the west coast and interior divisions would experience thunderstorms and afternoon showers.

Sarawak would also be facing wet weather with all divisions having coastal morning showers and then showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

Fire stations in flood prone areas have also been alerted, said Fire and Rescue Department section chief of operations and rescue.

"The department is ready to respond to all calls and will respond promptly," he said.

Meanwhile, PLUS Expressways Bhd corporate communications department general manager Khalilah Datuk Mohd Talha reminded motorists using highways in wet weather to reduce their speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front.

Free Bubur Lambuk

Giving out food to fellow Muslims to break their fast is one of the practices encouraged in the teaching of Islam during the month of Ramadhan. A very popular way of doing this is by distributing free bubur lambuk (rice porridge) to the fasting Muslims. In Parit Raja, the UTHM Mosque for some years, has been giving away free bubur lambuk every Wednesday after Asar prayers. For this year, the distribution will start next week on 18 August.

Meanwhile, there are also several banners seen in the town announcing distribution of free bubur lambuk on the 16 and 17 August in front of the CIMB building beginning at 2.30 pm. The banner says that thie event is jointly-organised by the Seri Gading Member of Parliament, Parit Raja State Assemblyman and Skuad Sayang of the Womans' Movement of Seri Gading UMNO. So come early to get your share or you will have to line up in a long queue.
