PERKAS brought Hari Raya joy to the Semai Muslims when Raya packet were distributed to all during their last class before Raya at the Surau Al-Hidayah in Pos Betau on August 23rd. The Raya packets were courtesy of Masjid Al-Hidayah Taman Melawati, K.L. The Semai never received any Raya packets at all during Hari Raya season all these years. Though the Raya contribution were small compared to what their city siblings get, they were nevertheless very grateful.

After receiving the small token, they were also invited to take home hands-me-down clothes donated by the public initiated by PERKAS thru' its collection centre at Masjid Melawati. It was the second batch of donation from PERKAS in a week, with the third one coming after raya. Prior to that, they were treated to a berbuka puasa (breaking of fast) at the Ecolife Basecamp, followed by Magrib, Isyak & terawih prayers.
