BANGI – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today tried Menu Siswa Rahmah when he stopped for lunch at the Randau Rasa Cafeteria, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) here.

The prime minister was accompanied by UKM vice-chancellor Prof Datuk Mohd Ekhwan Toriman, the university’s top leadership and management staff as well as student representatives.
