Bella Astillah, Syed Saddiq invite the public to ‘Kenduri Rakyat’ wedding receptions in Muar and Kota Kinabalu

Bella Astillah and Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman have announced two public wedding receptions in Muar, Johor, and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, this October as part of their wedding celebrations.

The events, themed "Kenduri Rakyat," will be open to the public and held on October 25 and 31, respectively.

The couple aims to create a communal celebration atmosphere, with preparations managed within a tight schedule.

Bella has also noted that the Sabah reception will be in Kota Kinabalu, not her birthplace of Sandakan, and plans to offer 10,000 special souvenirs for attendees.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — Bella Astillah and Muar MP Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman will hold two public wedding receptions in Muar, Johor, and Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, later this month as part of their wedding celebrations.

The couple announced the receptions today at the Walimatulurus Bella Astillah & Syed Saddiq press conference at the KLGCC Convention Centre, ahead of their solemnisation ceremony on October 10 at Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur.

The receptions, themed “ Kenduri Rakyat ” and open to members of the public, will take place in Muar on October 25, followed by a celebration in Kota Kinabalu on October 31.

Syed Saddiq said plans for the two public celebrations came together in less than two months, with the couple working around a tight schedule and the challenge of securing suitable venues.

“Our receptions will be themed ‘ Kenduri Rakyat ’, where members of the public are invited to attend.

“The concept will be like a ‘ rewang ’, where everyone can come together to celebrate.

“If the Hari Raya celebrations in Muar alone previously attracted up to 10,000 people, we expect even more people to attend our ‘ kenduri ’.

“So it will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Even if the food runs out, both of us will still be there to spend time with the guests who attend,” he said.

Bella, meanwhile, said the couple plans to prepare 10,000 special souvenirs for guests attending the two “ Kenduri Rakyat ” receptions.

She also clarified that the Sabah celebration will be held in Kota Kinabalu rather than Sandakan, where she was born.

Bella, whose full name is Dayang Ara Nabellah Awang Astillah, said she was looking forward to celebrating in Sabah and wanted to clear up confusion over the venue.

“I am really happy to be holding the celebration in Sabah because I was born there, in Sandakan.

“Many people misunderstood and thought I would hold the reception in Sandakan, so I want to take this opportunity to clarify that it will be held in Kota Kinabalu.

“I really cannot wait. We also want to prepare souvenirs, depending on what we can afford, so I am really looking forward to it,” she said.

贝拉·阿斯蒂拉 (Bella Astilah) 和麻坡议员赛沙迪·阿都拉曼 (Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman) 宣布，今年 10 月将在柔佛州麻坡和沙巴亚庇举行两场公开婚礼招待会，作为婚礼庆祝活动的一部分。

以“人民中心”为主题的这两项活动将分别于10月25日和31日向公众开放。

这对新人希望营造一种热闹的庆祝氛围，所有准备工作都在紧凑的日程安排内完成。

贝拉还指出，沙巴招待会将在哥打基纳巴卢举行，而不是在她的出生地山打根，并计划向参加者提供 10,000 件特别纪念品。

吉隆坡，10 月 2 日 — 贝拉·阿斯蒂拉 (Bella Astillah) 和麻坡国会议员赛沙迪·阿都拉曼 (Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman) 将于本月晚些时候在柔佛麻坡和沙巴亚庇举行两场公开婚礼招待会，作为婚礼庆祝活动的一部分。

这对新人今天在吉隆坡会展中心举行的 Walimatulurus Bella Astillah & Syed Saddiq 新闻发布会上宣布了婚宴安排，他们的正式婚礼将于 10 月 10 日在吉隆坡独立 118 周年纪念堂举行。

以“人民中心”为主题的招待会将于 10 月 25 日在麻坡举行，并向公众开放，随后将于 10 月 31 日在亚庇举行庆祝活动。

Syed Saddiq 表示，这两场公开庆祝活动的计划是在不到两个月的时间内制定完成的，这对夫妇需要在时间紧迫的情况下完成，同时还要应对寻找合适场地的挑战。

“我们的招待会将以‘人民中心’为主题，欢迎公众参加。”

“这个概念就像一场‘聚会’，大家可以聚在一起庆祝。”

“如果说之前仅在麻坡举办的开斋节庆祝活动就吸引了多达 10,000 人参加，那么我们预计会有更多的人参加我们的‘肯杜里’（kenduri，一种节日庆典）。”

“所以会采取先到先得的方式。即使食物不够，我们俩也仍然会到场陪伴到场的客人，”他说。

与此同时，贝拉表示，这对夫妇计划为参加两场“人民之家”招待会的宾客准备 10,000 件特别纪念品。

她还澄清说，沙巴州的庆祝活动将在哥打基纳巴卢举行，而不是在她出生地山打根举行。

Bella（全名 Dayang Ara Nabellah Awang Astillah）表示，她期待在沙巴庆祝，并希望澄清有关庆祝地点的误会。

“我很高兴能在沙巴举办庆祝活动，因为我出生在那里，山打根。”

“很多人误会了，以为我会在山打根举办招待会，所以我想借此机会澄清一下，招待会将在亚庇举行。

“我真的等不及了。我们还想准备一些纪念品，这取决于我们的经济能力，所以我非常期待，”她说。
