The group of pilgrims, comprising 112 men and 141 women, had departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang at 4.12am aboard Malaysia Airlines flight MH8050. For this year's haj season, the Saudi Arabian government has approved a quota of 31,600 for Malaysian pilgrims, who are scheduled to arrive in Madinah and Makkah in stages starting today.

One of the pilgrims, Supiah Hussin, 70, could not hold back her tears upon arriving in Madinah, expressing her gratitude for finally being chosen as a guest of Allah during this year's haj season. "I spent 15 years saving money from selling kuih. Although it wasn't much, sometimes I earned only RM10 or RM20 a day, but Alhamdulillah, Allah has finally invited me to be His guest," she said. During their six-day, five-night stay in Madinah before departing for Makkah, the pilgrims will take part in various programmes organised by TH, including visits to the Raudah at the Nabawi Mosque, as well as historical sites around the city of Al-Munawwarah.

'I would like to remind all Malaysian pilgrims this season to uphold the good tradition and image of the country in the eyes of the world. 'All pilgrims must comply with and respect the rules and laws of the Saudi Arabian government by refraining from engaging in activities that violate the host country's laws,' he said.
