Perlis Royals Celebrate Down Syndrome Kids

The Raja Muda of Perlis hosted a heart‑warming cooking event, *Bubur Lambuk Lambaian Kasih Ramadan Seribu Senyuman*, for 25 children from the Perlis Down Syndrome Association. Held at Al Mubarak Mosque in Kampung Tasoh, the gathering was a joint effort by the association, Universiti Malaysia Perlis, the mosque and several non‑governmental organisations. Children rolled up their sleeves, mixed ingredients and shared laughter, while volunteers and dignitaries offered encouragement. The event not only provided a festive Ramadan activity but also highlighted the importance of inclusive community programmes that empower children with special needs to learn new skills and feel valued.

Shows how local leaders and NGOs can collaborate to create inclusive, skill‑building experiences for children with Down syndrome.

By spotlighting inclusive activities during Ramadan, the event challenges stigma, encourages broader societal acceptance and demonstrates that community support can turn everyday occasions into powerful platforms for empowerment and awareness.
