“We sincerely hope the food items will help those going through difficult times,” said Rumaizi.
In the meantime, the needy folk around the flats in Waller Court, Kinta Heights and Buntong Harmony were presented with food packets courtesy of Bonanza Venture Holdings (BVH) and the Ipoh City Council.
Around 250 food packets contained rice, noodles, raw food ingredients and sanitary products, alongside toys for the children.
On hand was the Executive Director of Operations for BVH, Edwin Tan who added that this was the first collaboration between the company and the local council.
“We are very grateful for MBI to join hands in this meaningful venture to help the poor and needy community in the city,” said Tan.
