KUALA LUMPUR, March 19 — Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh has contributed RM50,000 to upgrade and equip the Masjid Al-Firdausi kitchen in her Parliamentary constituency today.
The Youth and Sports Minister said the contribution is aimed at easing the mosque management's burden in preparing and providing for the needs of its congregants.
"Masjid Al-Firdausi had said their kitchen lacked several items, but they would have to prepare the necessary requirements every night by pooling all their resources," she told the press during the Segambut Parliamentary-level Nur Ramadan programme at Masjid Al-Firdausi today.
Apart from the contribution to the mosque, Yeoh also presented RM200 each to 300 needy residents in Segambut during the programme.
Meanwhile, Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) executive director (Socioeconomic development) Ismadi Sakirin said the contributions were the fruits of cooperation between the Segambut Parliamentary constituency’s community service centre and DBKL to ease the burden of the constituency's residents.
“On behalf of DBKL, we wish to register our appreciation to YB Hannah Yeoh, the Segambut MP, for her contributions and cooperation in ensuring the success of the Nur Ramadan Programme. Similar programmes will be held in all of Kuala Lumpur's 11 Parliamentary constituencies," he said.
Ismadi added that so far, six programmes have been completed, while another five would be completed next week.
