Arif Peter, 49, converted to Islam five years ago and have been attending the buka puasa sessions at Perkim every year.
“I remember I had a hard time fasting for the first time. I kept getting headaches and my body didn't feel right. It was easier the second year,” said Arif.
He felt scared when he initially became a Muslim but he joined his friends and other “saudara baru” and they helped each other learn about the religion.
