After the Sultan Haji Hassanal
Bolkiah Foundation's initial visit to witness the poor living
conditions of Awang Abd Kamis bin Minggas in Lumapas B, the Foundation
then donated basic necessities for the family on Tuesday. Yesterday,
another delegation of officers from the Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal
Bolkiah Foundation visited the home of Awang Abd Kamis bin Minggas
again. The delegation was led by Pehin Udana Khatib Dato Paduka Seri
Setia Ustaz Haji Awang Badaruddin bin Pengarah Dato Paduka Haji Othman,
the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Sultan Haji Hassanal
Bolkiah Foundation.
The delegation also included Dato
Paduka Haji Abd Ghani bin Pehin Datu Pekerma Dewa Dato Paduka Haji Abd
Rahim, the Managing Director of the Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah
Foundation, Pehin Orang Kaya Lela Sura Dato Seri Laila Jasa Awang Haji
Abas bin Haji Serudin, Executive Director and Dato Paduka Haji Zakaria
bin Haji Jeneh, Assistant Managing Director of the Foundation. The
Head of Kg Lumapas was also present during the visit.
From the visit, the Foundation
decided to take early action to repair the home of Awang Abd Kamis bin
Minggas which was in dreadful condition. This effort was to make sure
that the family could continue with their daily life in a better
environment. The Foundation would also consider what other necessary
donations should be made.
Apart from that, the Sultan Haji
Hassanal Bolkiah Foundation donated kitchen utensils, equipment and
food to the family.
Pehin Udana Khatib Dato Paduka Seri
Setia Ustaz Haji Awang Badaruddin bin Pengarah Dato Paduka Haji Othman
stressed that cases like this can be handled together with initiatives
from Head of Villages and concerned agencies from the surrounding
community.
