He also expressed his thanks to the PWM organising committee, led by Ken Kho and the Pantai Mentiri Golf Club.
Last November, he said, “PWM also hosted a Muhibbah golf tournament at the same venue to commemorate its 25th anniversary. The main purpose was to promote ties with the local community and a healthy lifestyle. Today’s event was to raise funds for the victims of the recent blaze in the Water Village.”
Also present at the donation ceremony were Abdul Mutalib bin Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Setia Dato Paduka Haji Mohammad Yusof, the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Home Affairs; and Haji Idris bin Haji Ali and Haji Mohd Sunadi bin Haji Buntar, the Deputy Permanent Secretaries at the Ministry of Home Affairs.
