PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The transition to Phase 2 of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) in the Klang Valley paved the way for newlyweds to cross districts and capture happy moments using the panoramic scenes in Putrajaya as a backdrop.

       Immediately after their marriage solemnisation ceremony at the Federal Territory Religious Department (Jawi) in Kuala Lumpur, Mohd Fauzi Amin and his bride June Asmerahawa Minhad raced to Dataran Putra in Putrajaya to snap pictures using Perdana Putra and Masjid Putra as a background.

       Fashionably dressed in their all-white wedding outfits and wearing mandatory face masks, Fauzi, 29, and June, 33, arrived at Dataran Putra at 6pm and began striking romantic poses, much to the delight of visitors.

       "Putrajaya is known for its beautiful scenery. And because we are now allowed to cross districts, we decided to come here to take pictures,” Fauzi, who lives in Sentul, told Bernama on Friday (Sept 10).

       He said he had earlier not expected to have the opportunity to travel to Putrajaya as inter-district travel was not allowed until Friday.

       "When we moved to Phase 2 of the NRP, it helped with our plan for wedding photos,” he said.

       June said initially, the happy couple only planned to record their wedding moments by taking pictures around the city centre in places like KLCC and the Titiwangsa Lake Garden.

       "When the district borders were opened, we immediately decided to travel to Putrajaya because of the beautiful scenery here,” she said.

       She also expressed her gratitude because her wedding, which had been postponed for six months due to various reasons, is finally over.

       "The solemnisation ceremony went smoothly and adhered to standard operating procedures (SOPs).

       "Jawi also introduced new rules where couples need to take a Covid-19 test and follow very stringent SOPs to ensure there is no transmission of the virus,” she said.

       On Wednesday (Sept 8), Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that those living in the Klang Valley and who had been fully vaccinated could cross districts beginning Friday after Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya moved to Phase 2 of the NRP. - Bernama
