No matter where and who you are; where you come from; what color you are; what flag you bear; what accent you speak, Syawal will be the moderator of all Muslims around the globe to celebrate moderately in one language with one Goal. This year, we PETRONAS Secondees would like to put in record our sincere thanks to Kamarul and his family for voluntarily and sincerely accommodating the Alex Raya Gathering 2008. The whole objective is to translate the PETRONAS Brand’s slogan: Energy receive Energy return; Aspiring other everywhere. On the other side, I think we should be thankful to the AlMighty Allah swt for giving us His blessing and wealth through PETRONAS. Subsequently, the wealth should be shared with all appropriate parties. Henceforth, our target this year was the Medic and AlAzhar Students in Alex who celebrated their Eidul Fitri away from their beloved family in Malaysia. About 120 students were invited together with our families’ members during the auspicious occasion. 
The occasion had also provided space for the students to learn from us our experiences, tips and tricks on living abroad. Adnan, CEO of ELNG, took the opportunity to share his experience and advised the students on two main things: the image of Malaysian and study smart. This was Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Mohd Hassan Merican said during his recent Policy Address: "PETRONAS has gone through a lot of trials and tribulations throughout its 34 year history. A PETRONAS’ success is largely attributed to a workforce that is dedicated, committed and loyal to extent that there are willing to sacrifice for the corporation. While not all of us have gone through the full history, it does not mean that we cannot completely appreciate what PETRONAS stands for. In the light of the recent political development, PETRONAS employees, young and old, came together in support of PETRONAS. Again, I would like to thank you for your efforts in reaching out for your community, in what ever, directly or indirectly. It is the display of solidarity that will take us to greater heights in today’s fluid and challenging environment".
Eidul Fitri is synonymous with set of sate pronounced as Sa té in Malay, without which is just like song without lyrics. Though, we are about 7000 miles away from its origin, sate is always available as long as there are Malays. Imported from Rumah Kedah Cairo, transported by Zaidi, this scrumptious set partnered with ‘korma kambing’ and ‘rendang ayam’ anchored everyone to their chair. In Egypt, there are many sate twins but taste slightly different, such as, 'Kofta' - grilled chicken or beef. Sate came in set of hot peanut sauce, red onion, cucumber and 'ketupat' - traditionally cube compacted rice cooked inside weaved coconut leave.
