MIRI (Feb 5): A family-established local trust fund has contributed aid to the victims of the floods and landslides here.
The Pewarisi Haji Solhi Trust Fund was established by the family of the late local figure, Solhi Edin, meant as a platform to help provide financial assistance for education and other necessities to the family members, as well as to support the neighbouring communities in times of need.
Demonstrating its commitment to helping those affected by disasters, the fund committee held a simple handing-over ceremony at the Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) Miri temporary relief centre (PPS) yesterday.
The trust fund’s patron Datuk Sharbini Suhaili personally delivered the donations to victims of the recent floods and landslide here.
He was accompanied by the fund’s chairman Alimin Solhi.
The flooding in Sarawak, which first struck late last month, has displaced many families, while a landslide in Kampung Lereng Bukit here on Jan 28 claimed five lives and forced many to evacuate their houses.
