MyRaudhah, a non-governmental organisation (NGO), welcomes the recommendation of Senior Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s call for employees or individuals conducting community service programmes in disaster areas to undergo Covid-19 screening.

At the recent floods in Temerloh, Pahang, 40 of the organisation’s volunteers set up camp for three days to do post-flood cleaning activities in Taman Sri Semantan, Kampung Raja Songsang Islamic Cemetery and Kampung Bukit Tingkat, where they distributed donations to 12 families affected by floods.
