KUCHING, Jan 4: Democratic Action Party (DAP) Stampin Service Centre has donated RM3,000 to both the Persatuan Kebajikan Wira Satria Sarawak and Persatuan Kebajikan Ababil Biru Kuching, as a token of appreciation for the selfless contributions made by the army veterans associations.
In a press statement, Michael Kong, special assistant to Stampin MP and Sarawak DAP chairman Chong Chieng Jen, stated that the donations were made to support and empower the State’s heroes.
“It is with great pride and a deep sense of gratitude that we announce our commitment to supporting our army veterans through allocations of RM3,000 each to Persatuan Kebajikan Wira Satria Sarawak and Persatuan Kebajikan Ababil Biru Kuching.
“These associations, founded by our esteemed army veterans, exemplify the spirit of selflessness that our military heroes are known for.
“Beyond their duty in defending our country, these veterans have extended their commitment to each other’s welfare long after their retirement from service,” he said.
He went on to say that one of the remarkable aspects of the associations is their proactive approach to welfare.
“They go beyond waiting for assistance from the Federal government and, instead, reach into their own pockets to aid fellow members in need.
“From providing essential medical supplies to ensuring the education of veterans’ children by supplying school uniforms, their initiatives reflect a deep sense of care and responsibility.”
Furthermore, Kong highlighted that the State’s army veterans had devoted their lives to safeguarding the nation, and their work in the associations was an extension of that selfless dedication.
The donations were accepted by Persatuan Kebajikan Wira Satria Sarawak president Francis Kanawang and Persatuan Kebajikan Ababil Biru Kuching president Dennis Sungkok.
