MUSLIMS CELEBRATE AIDILFITRI ON MODERATE SCALE

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 1 (Bernama) -- Muslims in the country celebrated Aidilfitri on
a moderate scale this year, mindful of the soaring prices of almost everything
following the fuel price hike, but this has not dampened the joy of the
occasion.

After fasting for a month, they started the day with prayers at mosques and
surau nationwide followed by visits to the graves before holding open house to
welcome relatives and friends.

At National Mosque, King Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin and Queen Tuanku Nur
Zahirah performed the Aidilfitri prayers with more than 5,000 people.

They were accompanied by Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi,
Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak and several cabinet ministers
and Muslim foreign diplomats.

After the prayers, Tuanku Mizan and Abdullah exchanged greetings with the
congregation.

Tuanku Mizan later hosted a reception for the cabinet ministers, foreign
diplomats and other dignitaries at Istana Negara.
