ARAU, March 5 (Bernama) — The East Wind Festival 2023 (PAT2023) can bring back the nostalgia of the traditional society that is rich in customs and culture, said Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail.
He said artistic and social activities need to be revived and brought in sync with current developments.
“PAT2023 can further enrich the state’s treasures for future generations to inherit,” said Tuanku Syed Faizuddin when closing PAT2023 in Kampung Sungai Padang here today.
The event was also graced by Raja Puan Muda of Perlis Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil.
Also present were Deputy Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Khairul Firdaus Akbar Khan and Perlis Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli.
The three-day PAT2023 was jointly organised by the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) and the Perlis government.
Tuanku Syed Faizuddin hoped that PAT could continue to be organised to give space and opportunities to the community in generating income.
He said Perlis has its own special features, including the beauty of the padi fields which is able to give tranquility and persona.
“All parties should equally take responsibility and join hands to take care of its beauty, infrastructure and facilities that have been provided at tourist spots,” he added.
