A Royal Welcome to Ramadan: IIUM Holdings Joins HRH Tengku Ampuan Pahang for Communal ‘Rewang’
GOMBAK, 10 February 2026 – In a beautiful display of tradition and community spirit, IIUM Holdings Sdn Bhd was honoured to be a part of the “Rewang Bubur Lambuk” programme, graced by Her Royal Highness the Tengku Ampuan of Pahang, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah Binti Almarhum Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj.
The event, held at the Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Mosque courtyard, saw IIUM Holdings collaborate closely with the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) to organize this meaningful gathering in welcoming the holy month of Ramadan next week.
Her Royal Highness, who is also the Constitutional Head of IIUM, arrived at 9:00 a.m. and spent the morning personally overseeing the preparation of over 3,000 packets of bubur lambuk. Using a special royal recipe from the Pahang Palace, the dish featured unique ingredients such as grilled Spanish mackerel, prawns, and traditional village greens like pucuk midin and pucuk kaduk.
IIUM Holdings was well-represented by YBhg. Dato’ Ahmad Nadzarudin Abdul Razak, Group Managing Director/CEO, and Encik Zahari Salleh, Group CFO. They were joined by various Heads of Departments and a dedicated team of staff who volunteered their time to serve on the organizing committee, working side-by-side with the palace chefs and the IIUM community.
Speaking on the collaboration, IIUM Holdings expressed its profound gratitude for the opportunity to work hand-in-hand with the University on such a prestigious occasion. The event was not merely about preparing food; it was about strengthening the bonds of silaturahim between the palace, the university, and the corporate arm.
We wish to express our highest appreciation and Menjunjung Kasih to Her Royal Highness Tunku Azizah for her presence and for sharing her blessings with the community. Our sincere thanks also go to IIUM for the wonderful partnership in making this event a success.
