Dr Wee: Essentials worth more than RM800,000 gathered by NGOs to aid flood-hit Pakistan

SEPANG: Essential items worth more than RM800,000 have been gathered by various Malaysian non-governmental organisations to provide flood aid for those affected in Pakistan, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

The Transport Minister said the contributions which were jointly organised and gathered under the Fo Guang Shan Malaysia chapter, Buddha’s Light International Association (BLIA), and Sin Chew Foundation were especially targeted to assist victims in the badly hit district of Swat in Pakistan.
