KUCHING: The fasting season has begun and Ramadan bazaars are buzzing with activities.
At the Batu Kawa MPP Ramadan Bazaar, crowds started gathering as early as 2 pm yesterday to pick up a variety of tasty treats.
For Sulaiman Sidi, 55, the owner of Leman Panggang MJC, this marked an annual event as he had been selling grilled chickens and other related grilled items for 15 years.
“I started selling 15 years ago and will always participate in the bazaar sales, especially in the Batu Kawa area,” he said when speaking to the Sarawak Tribune.
