KUDAT, May 10 – Eight-year-old Syam Aariz Rayyan Abdullah from Pulau Banggi fulfilled his dream of meeting Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

And personally handing him a heartfelt letter after being mocked by friends for wanting to become prime minister one day.

The emotional meeting took place during Anwar’s visit to Pulau Banggi, where the young boy arrived early with his mother to ensure he had the chance to meet the nation’s leader.

During the visit, Anwar also announced a special RM31 million development package for Pulau Banggi, covering roads, bridges, health, education, security and jetty upgrades.
