KOTA KINABALU: The State Government will not be holding a Hari Raya open house this year.

However, the State Cabinet decided, Wednesday, that instead a State reception "Majlis Ramah Mesra Aidilfitri" will be held for about 1,000 invited guests on May 7 at SICC.

Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the event is only by invitation and among those being invited are opposition leaders.

"Similarly, the Istana Negeri is not going to hold an open house but only a reception for 100 invited guests or so," he said at the breaking of fast with the Hala Tuju Sabah Maju Jaya (SMJ) secretariat at his official residence, Seri Gaya, here, Wednesday.
