A generous effort was made by the Yayasan Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah to relieve the burden of Awg Gafar Bin Matussin and Dyg Bunga Bte Matussin, who lost all their belongings including their life savings in a recent fire that destroyed their houses at No: 27 & 29 of Kampong Subok in Bandar Seri Begawan.

Awg Hj Ramli,on behalf of the fire victims, received a preliminary donation from the Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah foundation.

The donations was presented by the Chairman of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Foundation, Dato Paduka Haji Abd Ghani bin Pehin Datu Pekerma Dewa Dato Paduka Hj Abd Rahim witnessed by the Penghulu from Mukim Batu, Major Hj Abu Bakar bin Hj Ibrahim, Ketua Kampong of Subok, Awg Hj Jais bin Md Salleh as well as staff and officers of Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Ffoundation. The function took place at the premises of Ketua Kampong in Subok.

Awg Gafar Bin Matussin and Dyg Bunga Bte Matussin were left with literally only their sarong when the house they lived with their family, were razed in a midnight blaze.

Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Foundation was established to look after the well-being of citizens and residents and the poor and needy.

The Penghulu of Kg Dato Gandi and Ketua Kampong of Subok were very grateful for the quick assistance given. The foundation chairman yesterday also inspected the victims’ house.
