KUALA LUMPUR: "Ever since the pandemic struck, work has been scarce. I am worried about how my family will survive," said Fadilah Abdul Karim, a cleaner at the Saidina Abu Bakar As-Siddiq Mosque in Bangsar here.
After her husband died in 2012, Fadilah, 58, had to support her four children by herself. With the current situation and restrictions, Fadilah and the other cleaners take turns to work. She is thankful when she is able to go to work.
"When I received a call to tell me that Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB) was providing assistance to help us during this difficult time, I felt so relieved. Waiting for the end of the month is hard and I don't want to burden my children who are working as they too are barely making enough to feed themselves.
"This financial aid is a big help for me and my schoolgoing child. We use this for food and fare to school and work."
She expressed her gratitude to TNB employees who made deductions from their June and July salaries for the Tabung Warga TNB Prihatin, which is for the Bottom 40 group impacted by Covid-19.
To date, 12,762 TNB employees have helped raise RM1.38 million for the fund and the TNB management matched every ringgit so that more people could benefit from the aid. - NST
