He urged DBP personnel to read the Quran in Ramadhan while pondering the meaning of each verse and make it their daily guide and principle in life.

"Make the Quran as our spiritual guide in this world," he said. At the gathering, Dr Mataim also handed over donations to orphans. There was also a recitation of the tahlil and arwah prayer for former DBP staff of DBP who had passed on.
