PAPAR: Petronas touched the hearts of 200 underprivileged Sabahans by presenting them with donations, and organising a breaking of fast with them.

The recipients were presented with the donations under the “Sentuhan Kasih Petronas” programme at a ceremony held in Imam Abdullah mosque in Kampung Brunei, Kimanis.

Petronas Sabah and Labuan chairman Mohd Zaini Mohd Yunus handed over the donation to the recipients.

Also present were Agriculture and Food Industry Assistant Minister Dr Daud Yusof, Petronas Sabah and Labuan Regional Office general manager Rokiah Sulaiman, and Papar District Officer Adnan Atin.

Petronas has embarked on a nationwide Iftar ceremony, called Iftar Perdana, where the company handed out donations while breaking fast with local communities at selected mosques in seven states.

Other locations for the Iftar Perdana were Zaid Al-Harithah Mosque (Selangor), Ar-Rahmah Mosque (Kedah), Kampung Punggai Mosque (Johor), Tengku Mizan Mosque (Terengganu), the Malaysian Refining Company Sdn Bhd (Melaka) and Assyakirin Mosque in Bintulu, Sarawak.

Approximately 1,000 recipients from the seven states were selected by committee members of the mosques and received cash in amounts ranging from RM100 to RM200.
