people to spread some joy to the less fortunate.

“We are glad to have organised these events, which we hope benefits the children,” he said. Bubur lambuk preparation and distribution to all staff, consultants and the public is part of the hospital’s tradition, with four huge pots of the porridge prepared and over 1,000 packs distributed every Thursday for three weeks throughout Ramadan.
