PMR 2025 Highlights Products Flown From Perlis to Sabah

Sabah: Over 100 products specially flown from Perlis are featured at the 2025 MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) here, including garam belacan (fruit dip), belacan madu (shrimp paste), fermented fish, and cordial made from Harumanis mango.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Syazana Afiqah Nahar, Administrative Assistant for the Entrepreneurship Portfolio at the Perlis State Secretary's Office, stated that the Sabah PMR serves as an ideal platform to showcase Perlis' products and heritage to Sabahans. The initiative also aims to promote Perlis' tourism industry in conjunction with the Visit Perlis 2024-2025 campaign.

Among the products available are various types of belacan and Harumanis cordial, produced by the Koperasi Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti Anak Istimewa Perlis. This cooperative plays an active role in supporting the development of children with special needs and disabilities in Perlis.

Syazana Afiqah also mentioned that they are promoting tourist attractions in Perlis through various souvenirs, including fridge magnets highlighting the unique features of these locations. She expressed hope that the programme would provide an opportunity for the people of Sabah to become more familiar with Perlis.

Visitor Nuri Juliana Majuntis, 45, shared her delight at purchasing the fermented lampam fish, which reminded her of a visit to Perlis two years ago. She expressed her happiness at being able to buy the unique-tasting product again and purchased a substantial amount to share with her family.

Another visitor, Irmawati Abdul Kadir, 38, showed interest in the Harumanis cordial, which she noted had the authentic taste of Perlis' renowned Harumanis mango. Despite limited stock, she expressed her intent to order the product online.

The booth, managed by the Perlis Economic Planning Division, is located in the sales section of PMR 2025.
