IPOH: The Ekspresi Aidilfitri 2026 programme has successfully enlivened the city while serving as a platform for the community to gather and celebrate cultural diversity.
Ipoh mayor Zamakhshari Hanipah said the programme also provided an opportunity for the community to showcase their talents and creativity, while fostering unity among the people.
He said the Ipoh City Council (MBI) hopes such initiatives will continue as an ongoing effort to strengthen community ties and promote Ipoh as a city rich in arts and culture.
“In addition, the sale of local handicrafts as well as traditional cultural performances and Gema Warisan Budaya were among the main attractions for visitors.
