BETONG: The Ramadan Bazaar in Betong is bustling with visitors as it offers various choices of food and beverages.

“This bazaar is not just a business platform, but also a platform for unity, allowing people of different ethnicities to experience the Ramadan atmosphere,” he said after visiting the Betong Ramadan bazaar on yesterday.
Rentap who is also the Layar assemblyman said that providing a permanent location for the Ramadan bazaar was unnecessary at the moment, adding that the current location at Tasik Medan was more suitable.
