Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was joyfully 'mobbed' by excited schoolchildren eager to catch a glimpse of him when he stopped by a food stall here for lunch before performing Friday prayers. His arrival at the An-Najah Precinct 9 stall around 12.45 pm was warmly received by the crowd, particularly the enthusiastic schoolchildren from the nearby Sekolah Kebangsaan Putrajaya Presint 9 (2). As the Prime Minister, clad in a light blue Baju Melayu, arrived at the stall, the schoolchildren excitedly rushed to shake hands with him. Anwar spent about 30 minutes savouring a variety of dishes at the stall, accompanied by An-Najah Cooperative secretary Zainal Mohd Yusoh. After lunch, Anwar made his way to the nearby Surau An-Najah, located about 60 metres from the stall, to join nearly 1,000 congregants for Friday prayers. Surau Imam Hazim Malim led the Friday prayers and delivered a sermon entitled 'Perihal Mizan'. Source: BERNAMA News Agency
