Previously, Johor Port also took the opportunity to embrace the spirit of sharing during Ramadan by organising the annual Bubur Lambuk Programme. During the event, seven jumbo pots were used to prepare the scrumptious traditional dish with the help of 30 participating employees from various divisions and departments. A total of 2,000 packs of bubur lambuk were then successfully distributed to three local mosques in Pasir Gudang, including to the hauliers and port’s users.
