This traditional sweet treat is known by different names across Malaysia, including Bubur Biji Nangka & Bubur Tepung Pulut.Dato’ Dr. Marzuki Omar, Secretary General of both organisations, was also present, showing his support and encouragement for the initiative.The programme involved collective efforts from volunteers and committee members, from the preparation of ingredients to the cooking and final distribution to the public.
