A COUPLE whose home was destroyed in a fire on April 23 received financial assistance from the Belait District Charity Fund recently.
Acting Belait District Officer Haji Md Zamree bin Haji Junaidi presented the contributions to Mohd Adenan bin Abdullah and Hajah Kalsum binti Haji Suhaili, who are currently taking up shelter with their daughter at the housing area of Lorong 3 in Seria.
The elderly couple also received financial aid from members of the Brunei Islamic Religious Council (MUIB) and the Community Development Department (JAPEM).
On the night of April 23, a fire broke out at their house in Kampong Sungai Lalit, Lumut and razed it down in a few minutes.
Two vehicles parked nearby were also destroyed with an estimated cost of BND34,000.
An investigation revealed the fire was caused by a leak in a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) pipe connected to the household’s kitchen stove.
