The participants were treated to Chinese Muslim food catered by Mohd. Chan’s Restaurant and lah mien prepared by three imams from China.
About 150 people comprising of Chinese Muslims and their non-Muslim friends and family members attended this function. Also present were Mr. Lim Sze Teck from Hokkien Association Klang and his friend. MACMA also appreciated the attendance of YAD Dato’ Seri Indah Diraja Hj Abu Bakar b. Hj Abdul Hamid, Orang Besar Daerah Petaling and his wife, Siti Aishah Abdullah. He was welcomed by MACMA Selangor chairman Bro. Danial Hakim Boey dan head of Global Dakwah Unit MAIS, Ustadz Makhi b. Adnan.
According to the secretary of MACMA Selangor, Nor Alina Ong, this program is an opportunity for Chinese Muslims to meet fellow Muslims and support each other. It helps them to share experiences and form a strong Islamic support group for each other, especially to help those who have yet to be accepted by their family when they embraced Islam. Nor Alina Ong states that many Chinese Muslims want to retain their Chinese culture and identity when they revert to Islam and they need each other in order to do so. Such gatherings should be held more often.
