BINTULU (Feb 11): The Salvation Army has been among those mobilising aid for families here affected by the recent devastating floods.

Recognising the gravity of the situation, Salvation Army Bintulu Corps officer Captain Daniel Lim said those affected included groups under their care, whose homes were nearly submerged by the floodwaters.

“Upon learning of this, the Salvation Army actively sought sponsorship from businesses to gather supplies,” he said.

Lim said the Salvation Army team drove nearly an hour to the affected areas, delivering essential items such as food, rice, cooking oil and cleaning detergents, hoping to alleviate the difficulties faced by the flood victims.

“Given the current circumstances, some areas may be difficult to reach, or the residents may not have sought external help, quietly finding ways to cope with this natural disaster,” he added.

He extended special thanks to Dr Datuk Francis Toh, and Datuk Ngu Weng Hie and wife, for their generous donations.

“Their contributions have enabled the Salvation Army to specifically assist families and children in need.

“We hope their kindness will spread love to remote areas, and that the recipient families will accept this help with gratitude.”

Lim said to date, the Salvation Army here has assisted nearly 200 families and will continue to target those in need, especially the families and children they have been caring for.

“We have witnessed many people working together silently, without fanfare, and we express our gratitude to those who assist in disaster relief behind the scenes.”
