MRSM Pengkalan Hulu Badan Muafakat president, Abdul Mukti Ab Mutalib, said that all students had received contributions of raya cookies a day before the Aidilfitri celebrations.

“However, dishes such as lemang and rendang were not allowed. We wanted to send these two dishes (to the students) but the National Security Council (MKN) disallowed any gravy and wet food.
PADANG BESAR (Bernama): Despite having to celebrate Hari Raya Aidilfitri while on duty to guard the country's borders from being trespassed, this did not dampen the spirit of two members of Pengkalan Hulu General Operations Force (GOF) 18th Battalion from continuing to serve the nation.
