Arab-Families performing Umrah

Alhamdulillah. With Allah's divine grace and blessings, the Arab-Families has departed safely to the Holy City for Umrah this evening.

The group will be transiting in Singapore for a night stay and will continue the journey to Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, tomorrow morning.

A ' doa selamat' was held at the Serikandi Restaurant for the intending Arab-Families umrah group on last Thursday, 12 June 2008.

Mdm Tiff liased with a TTA personnel on the total count of baggages and boxes before checking-in.

Bigboss made sure the trolleys of baggages and boxes were in line for check-in.
