IN SUPPORT of cancer patients, a carnival called “Cut for Cancer” was held simultaneously at Atria Shopping Gallery, Petaling Jaya, and seven other locations in the country to raise funds for the manufacturing of wigs.

Organised by Locks of Hope Association, in collaboration with 13 members of parliament and assemblymen, the event aimed to set a new record for hair collection – donated by 20,000 people – and the gathering of 10,000 origami cranes within a day, in the Malaysia Book of Records.
