Raising funds in the age of WhatsApp


Sabah Four Wheel Drive Association came to the rescue delivering of 2000 boxes of mineral waters overnight to Ranau residents.

WhatsApp proved the rise of people power after the recent Sabah disaster, and reinforced the spirit of helping one another.

A SABAHAN Tan Sri donated RM1,000 and a Kadazandusun pensioner living in England pledged £100 to buy mineral water; a businessman Datuk contributed RM1,000 and 200 cartoons of mineral water and an upcoming businesswoman promised to hire a lorry to transport the mineral water from Kota Kinabalu to Ranau.
