Johor Bahru, 13 May 2023 – Hari Raya Aidilfitri marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. It is a time of forgiveness within the Muslim community and a time for strengthening of bonds among relatives and friends. Grand Paragon Hotel Johor Bahru and Paragon Globe Berhad hosted a Hari Raya Charity event with the orphans from Asrama Kebajikan Ar-Rayyan, Pusat Jagaan Baitul Maghfirah Suria & Pertubuhan Kebajikan An-Nur at Ballroom 1, 2 & 3 Grand Paragon Hotel Johor Bahru on 13 May 2023.
