Sakur Tan presides over a meeting with Islamic religious leaders and stakeholders on following public health protocols during the observance of Ramadan from April 2 to May 2, 2022. Sakur Tan met with Islamic religious leaders here and discussed public health protocols for the month-long observance of the holy month of Ramadan where Muslims pray. Fasting during the month of Ramadan, which ends on May 2, is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. Muslims believe that Ramadan is the month in which the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad more than 1,400 years ago. At the end of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which is Arabic for "festival of breaking the fast."
