WHAT DO YOU WISH FOR HARI RAYA

New baju raya? Delicious raya cookies? Sumptuous ketupat & rendang? While you are busy wishing, do take a moment to remember the under privileged.  Many have neither experienced the joy of Syawal or are able to celebrate this meaningful day.

In the spirit of Ramadan, representatives from FIN, SAM, CCD and PCEO’s Office visited 4 under privileged families to understand their plight and assist in all manner we can.  Our aim is to reach out and bring change to these members of our community. 


We have listed the challenges faced by these 4 families and their wish list, info collated from our site visit and conversations with them.
