KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 (Bernama) -- Despite entering its third day, the merriment of Hari Raya Aidiladha's sacrificial ceremonies is clearly felt when several groups including the Istana Negara staff club held sacrifices here today.
The Istana Negara Welfare and Sports Club (Keksin) had for the first time slaughtered seven cattle in the compound of the club house within the palace area in Jalan Duta, here.
Datuk Pengelola Bijaya Diraja Datuk Awang Kechik Abd Rahman who attended the ceremony said previously the slaughtering was done elsewhere.
"For the present celebration, seven cows were slaughtered and the meat distributed to orphanages and also to the personnel involved," he said when met by reporters here Thursday.
He said other than briefing those involved on the sacrifice the programme also bolstered understanding and family ties among them.
Meanwhile, Felda Group also sacrificed 20 cattle in the compound of Felda's Dewan Perdana here which was also attended by its chairman Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad and wife Puan Sri Bibi Sharliza.
In Bangsar, the staff of Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Sdn Bhd (Syabas) were not left out in the merriment and slaughtered 25 cattle and three goats.
Water Supply Employee Association of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya president Zainuddin Othman said 70 of Syabas personnel were involved in slaughtering the cattles and in preparing lunch.
Sports and Welfare Club of the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) also had a sacrifice here today by slaughtering 10 cows, including one donated by Works Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof, according to a CIDB press statement here today.
The meat was distributed to two orphanages here, said the CIDB statement.
