SEVERAL boxes of clothing were donated yesterday by the Tutong District Volunteers Group (SUKA) to 84-year-old Haji Abdullah bin Haji Metamit whose house was destroyed in a fire last November 9.
There were three other people residing in the house with Haji Abdullah – his two sons and a granddaughter – and it is believed that the fire was caused by a battery charger connected to an overloaded extension lead.
The donated clothing was presented by Haji Saiful Bahri bin Haji Omarali, the Secretary of SUKA, and also by other SUKA members, in a handover ceremony that took place at Jalan Palu, Penanjong.
SUKA is known for contributions to help the underprivileged in Tutong.
Through its Sumbang dan Bantu (Contribute and Help) programme, SUKA has been able to provide a platform for the public to donate new or used clothing for those in need.
The programme was established during the Day of Action (DOA) celebrations held in conjunction with the International Volunteers Day on December 5.
Present yesterday to accompany the victims during the handover was Haji Jumaat bin Haji Abdul Kadir, the Village Head of Kampong Penanjong, and several representatives from the Village Consultative Council (MPK) of Kampong Penanjong.
