Perlis Raja Muda Promotes ‘Kurma Daging’ In Indonesia

From Shuhaida Mohd Said

JAKARTA, Sept 21 (Bernama) — The Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, promoted local cuisine, especially Perlis favourites, in Indonesia during the Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) International Leadership Mobility (ILM) 2025 programme, held here and in Bandung from Sept 12 to 18.

His Royal Highness chose kurma daging (beef in spiced gravy) as the signature dish at the Perlis Food Promotion sessions, introducing it to restaurant operators and chefs at several top hotels in both cities.

Tuanku Syed Faizuddin was accompanied by the Raja Puan Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Hajah Dr Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil, Malaysia’s Ambassador to Indonesia, Datuk Syed Mohamad Hasrin Tengku Hussin, and Indonesia’s Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, Brian Yuliarto.

Holiday Inn Express Jakarta Matraman general manager Alldilah Arief Permadi said the hotel was honoured to be chosen to promote the dish and hoped to introduce it as a new addition to their menu.

“The preparation of kurma daging is fairly simple since the ingredients are quite similar to those we use in Indonesia. It tastes really delicious,” he told Bernama.

Pullman Jakarta’s executive chef, Koay Chee Ming, said he was proud and honoured to prepare a dish so close to his heart, as he too hails from Malaysia.

“We truly appreciate the Raja Muda’s effort to promote Perlis cuisine in Indonesia. With Jakarta’s rapidly growing culinary scene, it gives us the chance to explore a wider variety of dishes,” he said.

Meanwhile, during the UniMAP ILM 2025 programme, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin, who also serves as president of the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs), presented donations to three mosques, Masjid Rian Maulana and Masjid Istiqlal in Jakarta, and Masjid Al Jabbar in Bandung.

The Raja Muda called on the mosques to strengthen bonds of brotherhood and nurture a spirit of unity, reminding them that the strength of the ummah lies in solidarity and shared effort.

“By staying united and supporting one another, we can build a brighter future. With determination and commitment, we can raise a young generation that is not only knowledgeable and competitive, but also virtuous and globally minded,” he said.
