MELAKA: After fasting for more than three weeks during Ramadan, Datuk Ngwe Hee Sem is carrying that discipline into the Hari Raya Aidilfitri season by consciously moderating his food intake despite the abundance of festive dishes at open houses. “I have managed to control my food consumption by applying what I practised during fasting. “This year marks my third attempt at observing the Ramadan fast. Last year, I managed about 14 days, and this year I completed more than 20 days,” said the Machap Jaya assemblyman. Ngwe added that attending buka puasa gatherings over the years encouraged him to take part more actively in fasting.
