KKM ingin menzahirkan ucapan selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha kepada semua umat Islam di Malaysia, terutamanya kepada anggota barisan hadapan yang terus berdedikasi bertugas dan berkhidmat untuk Negara pada hari lebaran ini. Ini juga merupakan satu jenis pengorbanan yang besar dan mulia.

Umat Islam di Malaysia yang melaksanakan aktiviti ibadah korban adalah dinasihatkan untuk terus mematuhi Prosedur Standard Operasi (SOP) yang telah ditetapkan oleh Kerajaan.

Pemakaian alat pelitup muka (facemask) adalah amat digalakkan di tempat yang sesak dan sempit, terutamanya sekiranya penjarakan fizikal (physical distancing) sukar diamalkan. Amalkan kebersihan kendiri, terutamanya kebersihan tangan dengan kerap mencuci tangan dengan air dan sabun. Ini terutamanya apabila mengendalikan makanan semasa penyediaan juadah Hari Raya.

Pihak KKM juga ingin mengambil kesempatan pada hari yang mulia ini untuk melahirkan penghargaan kepada semua petugas barisan hadapan termasuk petugas kesihatan KKM dan sukarelawan, Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM), Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM), Jabatan Sukarelawan Malaysia (RELA), Jabatan Pertahanan Malaysia (JPAM), Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia (JIM) dan pelbagai agensi lain yang komited memberikan perkhidmatan mereka semasa musim perayaan ini.

Para anggota barisan hadapan kini mengharapkan masyarakat dapat memainkan peranan masing-masing dalam memerangi wabak COVID-19. Dalam doa, tafakur, ingatan dan rintihan hati mereka, petugas barisan hadapan sangat berharap agar seluruh masyarakat Malaysia memainkan tanggungjawab sosial dan kawalan kendiri, bagi memastikan SOP dapat dipatuhi dalam tempoh perayaan ini. Semoga dengan normal dan kebiasaan baharu ini, kita dapat sama-sama membendung wabak COVID-19 di Malaysia semasa mahupun selepas musim perayaan.

  • Amalkan etika batuk dan bersin;
  • Dapatkan rawatan segera jika bergejala;

The frontliners now hope that the community can play their role in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. In their prayers, thoughts, hearts and minds, all of the frontliners hope that the entire Malaysian community will undertake their social responsibility and self-compliance, to ensure that all the SOPs can be complied with fully during the festivity. Hopefully, with these new normal, we can all together control the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia during and after the festive season.
