MELAKA: The simple donation of a chicken and a bag of rice at the start of Syawal proved really gratifying for each of the 200 recipients in the Klebang state constituency.
For one of the recipients, Rozita Ismail, 35, the food kit donation will definitely brighten up her family's meal on the morning of the first of Syawal.
"Thank you very much, because I can add this chicken to our Raya menu, especially for guests who come visiting to celebrate. Most importantly, my family can savour delicious chicken rendang," she said at the Raya Kit handover programme officiated by Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.
Meanwhile, Dari Mat, 70, said the donation will help him to prepare for Raya and it does benefit the needy.
"I live with 10 others in my family, including children and grandchildren. So, I am very grateful to receive this chicken and bag of rice," he said.
Meanwhile, Klebang Besar Village Development and Security Committee chairman, Datuk Mohd Yusof Abu Hassan, said more than RM40,000 was allocated for the donation to benefit 200 recipients selected from around Klebang.
"It is notable that the recipients are not just Muslims, but also those who hail from different backgrounds and walks of life. We want the spirit of unity to be strengthened and, in the Klebang constituency, it is realised through such a programme," he said. – Bernama
