The open house, which began at 10am and ended at 4pm, was also attended by foreign tourists, with some arriving at 9am.

Najib, dressed in an orange-red Baju Melayu and wife, Rosmah Mansor, wearing a modern Baju Kurung, looked cheerful as they greeted and shook hands with visitors at the function.

Earlier, Najib said this year’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration had received an overwhelming response and described it in two words – many and varied.

He said the 2017 open house was a very meaningful event that was a complete celebration which exuded spontaneous merriment.

At 3pm, Najib and Rosmah were joined by Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in cutting the Aidilfitri cake at the open house.

Guests applauded when the prime minister and his wife sang “Anak Kampung”, the song made popular by Sabah-born singer, Jimmy Palikat.

Today’s hot weather did not deter the people from dropping by, including foreign tourists who enjoyed a variety of local dishes such as satay, chicken soto, ketupat, rendang and other Raya delicacies.

Following the threat of militant groups in the country, all visitors to the event were subjected to security screening.
