PRIME MINISTER Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim officiated the Ijtima’ Madani Ulama and Guru Pondok Kelantan, before attending a series of scheduled engagements on the concluding day of the Program Madani Rakyat (PMR) 2025 in Kelantan.

The Prime Minister was expected to visit the Kemubu Agricultural Development Authority (KADA) site in Desa Gemalai Baruh Alami, Kota Bharu, today where he inspected an ongoing organic paddy cultivation project. The location is noted for its agroecotourism potential, featuring pesticide- and chemical-free rice fields.
