SHAH ALAM, 5 Oct: The Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration at the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Mosque was lively with the participation of 231 participants in the sacrifice ritual this year.
The Selangor State Government Secretary, Datuk Khusrin Munawi, and the Auditor-General, Tan Sri Amrin Buang, also took part.
A total of 33 sacrificial cows were allocated while another was for the sacrificial ceremony.
The Chairman of the Sacrificial Ritual Committee for the Year 2014/1435H, Kasjoo Kadis, express excitement in the increase of participation for the sacrificial ritual this year although the price of cattle has increased to RM3,500 per cow.
“For the information of all this year, the price of cattle has gone up a bit. For one part, we are charging RM500 and RM3,500 per cow.
“Compared to last year where the price of a part was RM450 and the price of a cow was almost RM3,200,” he told the media.
He said that the increase in price this year was possibly influenced by the world market price.
Prior to that, nearly 10,000 people in the congregation performed the Aidiladha prayers at the main prayer hall with the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, and the Raja Muda, Tengku Amir Shah, accompanied by the Chief Minister, Mohamed Azmin Ali, and the Mufti, Datuk Mohd Tamyes Abdul Wahid.
The congregation also took the opportunity to greet His Royal Highness and State Government leaders after the prayers and the sermon, which was delivered by the Mufti.
