In its efforts to combat HIV/AIDS in this country,the Malaysian AIDS Council constantly needs to raise money to fund its activities. MENG YEW CHOONG reports on how the money collected is used and the MAC's current fund-raising drive.DOES having well-known names help in raising funds for charities? In a resource-strapped world, the answer is yes, though not always. Take for example, the Malaysia AIDS Council (MAC), which has been in existence for 10 years.  

Okay, everyone knows that its chairperson is Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir (and who her father is), but does it mean that the MAC's coffer is overflowing with cash, or at the very least, never comes close to running dry?
