PRIVATE corporations and non-governmental organisations have been busy spreading festive cheer among the less privileged in Johor. In Batu Pahat and Pontian, Petronas Foundation and Southern Region Petronas --- with the help of the Welfare Department --- distributed essential goods and hygiene kits to 400 single mothers, the disabled and low-income families.

One of the recipients in Batu Pahat was housewife Jamila Mahadi, 68, who cares for her bedridden husband who suffered a stroke four years ago.
