‘Upin' and ‘Ipin' in line for Aidiladha sacrifice
SHAH ALAM: Upin and Ipin will be sacrificed for Aidiladha today.
No, not the lovable comic characters – these are two premium Limousin cattle, weighing 780kg and 800kg respectively.
Upin and Ipin are among 22 gigantic cattle to be sacrificed at the Tayyib Ranch Qurban Carnival at Shah Alam Stadium.
Tayyib Ranch managing director Mohd Sakhedan Sidek said Upin and Ipin, which were sold to different buyers for RM20,000 and RM26,000, will be slaughtered tomorrow
The Limousin is a French breed of beef cattle from the Limousin and Manche regions of France.
Heavy-muscled cattle from other premium breeds such as Brahman, Charolais, Blonde and Black Angus will also be slaughtered at the event.
'The cattle, aged between three and four years, were brought in from Kelantan and Terengganu.
'They weigh between 700kg and 1,000kg and are priced from RM10,000 to RM45,000 each,' he told Bernama.
Mohd Sakhedan said demand for such cattle continued to rise each year, for sacrificial rites performed by Muslims during Hari Raya Aidiladha.
'Huge cattle are preferred for their meat yield and superior quality, making them ideal for distribution to the underprivileged as a valuable source of nutritious food,' he said.
Mohd Sakhedan said a total of 100 cattle will be slaughtered over a continuous 48-hour period until tomorrow.
'We have also received approval from the Selangor Islamic Religious Department to perform prayers at the carnival site, followed by a communal feast,' he added.

Performing Asean 2025 theme song a career highlight for Aina Abdul
Aina said the process of interpreting and delivering the song gave her a deeper appreciation for the theme of Asean unity. 07 Jun 2025 05:04pm Singer Aina Abdul - BERNAMA FILE PIX KUALA LUMPUR - Singer Aina Abdul described the opportunity to record the theme song for the Asean Summit 2025, 'Our Land Our Home' - centered on the theme of unity - as a profound and meaningful milestone in her artistic journey. According to Aina, whose full name is Nurul Aina Abdul Ghani, the experience of working with veteran composer Datuk Mokhzani Ismail and lyricist Rafiza Rahman added tremendous value to her growth as a singer. "I only lent my voice but I feel truly honoured to perform this powerful song. It's in English and there were challenges in pronunciation and the detailed musical notation," she told Bernama. Recorded at the RTM studio under the guidance of a vocal director and the lyricist herself, the 31-year-old artiste admitted that the technical approach required a high level of discipline, especially in adhering strictly to the notation. "I usually sing according to how I feel, but this time I had to follow the notation note by note. It was challenging but it taught me to be more meticulous and to respect the composer's work," she said. Singer Aina Abdul - BERNAMA FILE PIX Aina said the process of interpreting and delivering the song gave her a deeper appreciation for the theme of Asean unity. The 'Puas Sudah' singer said through the storytelling-style lyrics, she came to understand the noble values and unique cultural identities of Asean member states. "This song opened my eyes to the beauty and richness of cultures beyond Malaysia. It reminded me that music has the power to unite us, regardless of borders," she said. Aina, who won the Best Performance award at the 39th Anugerah Juara Lagu, said the experience of recording the song shifted her perspective on the role of music in conveying powerful messages and fostering unity. She described music as a universal medium capable of transcending cultural and linguistic boundaries, making it an effective tool for regional solidarity. "We shouldn't underestimate the power of music to bring people together. This song proves that music can cross borders and deliver a powerful message, not just to Malaysians but to listeners across Asean," she added. - BERNAMA More Like This

National Service trainees cherish rare Aidiladha celebration at camp
PEKAN: Participants of the National Service (NS) Training Programme 3.0 experienced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to celebrate Hari Raya Aidiladha at Regiment 505 Territorial Army camp here today. The 167 male trainees were unable to return home for the joyous occasion as they are currently undergoing a 45-day military and national service training programme, which runs until June 24. Dressed in traditional baju Melayu, the trainees performed the solat sunat Aidiladha at the camp's surau before enjoying festive treats such as ketupat, lemang, nasi impit, and rendang. The celebration was made even more memorable with a group performance by the trainees, joined by their non-Muslim friends. Trainee Hairil Aswad Jamaludin, 19, said celebrating Aidiladha at the army camp was a unique experience, quite different from being at home with his family. "After spending almost a month at the camp, I have made new friends from different races. "I would describe today's Aidiladha celebration with these new friends as a meaningful and interesting experience," he said. Meanwhile, Mohd Zafran Borhan Mohd Zulnizam, 19, said he had video-called his parents yesterday to catch up and see how preparations were going back home. "This is my first time being away from my family during Aidiladha, but I truly cherish the moments shared with friends here. "Even though we are at an army camp, the celebration was lively and full of spirit. "I believe this is a small sacrifice for all of us selected for the second series of the training programme," he said. National Service Training Commander of Regiment 505, Major Norizwan Shah Kastory, said the trainees celebrated the occasion joyfully alongside their coaches as their training nears its conclusion.
