Road closures in Bukit Mertajam for St Anne Feast this weekend

BUKIT MERTAJAM: Several roads near the Minor Basilica of St Anne will be closed from 9 am Saturday to 2 pm Sunday for the annual St Anne Feast, one of Malaysia's largest religious gatherings. The closures aim to manage traffic flow as over 100,000 visitors are expected. Seberang Perai Tengah police chief ACP Helmi Aris confirmed the affected stretch includes Jalan Kulim, from the Caltex petrol station to the Taman Bukit Indah traffic lights. Motorists from Kulim heading to Bukit Mertajam can use Jalan Rozhan or Jalan Sepakat, continuing to Jalan Muhibbah and Jalan Kampung Baru before exiting through Taman B. For those travelling from Bukit Mertajam to Kulim, alternative routes include Jalan Kampung Baru towards Jalan Berjaya, then onto Jalan Song Ban Kheng and Jalan Kampung Baru, leading to Alma and Bukit Minyak. Another option is Jalan Kampung Batu through Taman B to reconnect with Jalan Kulim. A candlelight procession on Saturday evening (7 pm to 11 pm) will also prompt rolling closures along Jalan Kampung Baru and Jalan Berjaya. All roads are expected to reopen by 2 pm Sunday. The St Anne Feast, celebrated annually on July 26, draws pilgrims nationwide and internationally. The church was designated a Minor Basilica in 2019, reinforcing its significance in the Catholic faith. Authorities advise the public to follow traffic police directions and use suggested detours. - Bernama

Helping Hands organisation honours ‘deserving dads' in Dannhauser

Fathers who may have felt overlooked this past Father's Day were given a warm-hearted reminder of their value when the Dannhauser-based Helping Hands organisation hosted a special appreciation event on June 15. Deserving dads were treated to a wholesome meal and heartfelt fellowship in a welcoming hall filled with gratitude and a sense of community spirit. On what was a cold winter's day, the hot meal and kind words offered comfort and dignity to the fathers in attendance. Helping Hands extended sincere thanks to the many local sponsors who helped make the event a success. Special appreciation went to Mr and Mrs Bana for the delicious braai meat, Zaheer Moosa from Caltex, Ali and Nabil from Madina, Khanti (former Horizon Restaurant), and Anel from The Paw in Newcastle, who contributed drinks and sweet treats. The Helping Hands team co-ordinated the day with care and dedication. Following on from the Father's Day gathering, the organisation continued its outreach efforts by partnering up with the Al-Imdaad Foundation for a winter blanket distribution. As part of Helping Hands' ongoing winter drive, 50 blankets and beanies were handed out to the needy, along with refreshing drinks provided by Venay Dookie. Community member Manoj Goordeen was also thanked for assisting with sound equipment during the event. 'We're super grateful at Dannhauser Helping Hands for your kindness and support,' said organiser Farzanah Dookie, who praised the collaborative effort that made the initiative possible.'
