PHNOM PENH: (Bernama) Malaysians’ compassion and bravery transcended borders, including Myanmar, where a few travelled on rickety boats along rough rivers to deliver aid to flood victims in the Ayeyarwady Delta Region, impacted by Typhoon Yagi.

The Yangon-based Malaysian Association of Myanmar (MAM) led a successful fundraising campaign, with the support of the Malaysian Myanmar Business Chamber, raising RM36,000 to provide aid to villagers in Than Lwin Ngu Village in Danuphyu Division.
