TAWAU, May 10 (Bernama) -- Over 100 products specially flown from Perlis are featured at the 2025 MADANI Rakyat Programme (PMR) here, including garam belacan (fruit dip), belacan madu (shrimp paste), fermented fish and cordial made from Harumanis mango. 

Administrative Assistant for the Entrepreneurship Portfolio at the Perlis State Secretary’s Office, Syazana Afiqah Nahar, said the Sabah PMR is an ideal platform to showcase Perlis’ products and heritage to Sabahans and promote the state’s tourism industry in conjunction with Visit Perlis 2024-2025 campaign. 

“Among the products are various types of belacan…and Harumanis cordial, produced by the Koperasi Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti Anak Istimewa Perlis, a cooperative which plays an active role in supporting the development of children with special needs and disabilities in Perlis,” she told Bernama here today.

Syazana Afiqah said they are also promoting tourist attractions in Perlis through various souvenirs, including fridge magnets that highlight the unique features of these locations.

“We hope that programmes like this can provide an opportunity for the people of Sabah to get to know Perlis better,” she said.

A visitor, Nuri Juliana Majuntis, 45, said she bought the fermented lampam fish, which brought back the nostalgia that reminds her of the visit to the state two years ago.

"I love Perlis fermented lampam fish. The taste is unique and unlike other fermented fish. I’m so happy to be able to buy it here again. I’ve purchased a lot to keep and share with my family,” she added.

Irmawati Abdul Kadir, 38, said she was interested in the Harumanis cordial, which she claimed had the authentic taste of the state's famous Harumanis mango.

“When I heard that it’s made from the famous Harumanis mango from Perlis, I immediately wanted to buy it. Unfortunately, the stock is limited. I’ll try to order it online,” she said.

The booth, managed by the Perlis Economic Planning Division, is in the sales section of PMR 2025.
