Giant PAS lemang takes centre stage, auctioned for RM4,000

PAS MUKTAMAR | Aside from the customary circulation of donation bags, the 65th central PAS muktamar in Kuantan here today saw the party adopting a more novel approach to raise funds.

After concluding debates on party president Abdul Hadi Awang's presidential speech, a giant six foot three inches long lemang (a glutinous rice delicacy cooked in bamboo stalks) was brought on stage to be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
