It is the fasting month and the Ramadan bazaar has popped up everywhere.

The sight of bazaars is part and parcel of Malaysian life as people from all walks of life patronize the bazaar to buy cakes, cookies and other food essentials.

In Ipoh, State Exco for Housing and Local Government Ms Sandrea Ng took a walkabout at the Ramadan bazaar near Perak Stadium yesterday.

Also present was Ipoh Mayor Dato Rumaizi Baharin.

They met and greeted people who were shopping for food to break fast. Ng also presented goody bags to some of the residents.

The goody bags were sponsored by Grab Food which consisted of an apron, biodegradable plastic bags among others.

.Residents were pleasantly surprised by the kind gesture.
