Donations To Help Quake Victims
By P Marilyn

Bandar Seri Begawan - Kind-hearted individuals continue to make donations to victims of the Yogyakarta earthquake, which affected a great number of Indonesians when it struck five months ago.

Working towards this, representatives from PEKIRA (Former Government Employees Association) recently paid a visit to the Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia to hand over a donation, which will be used to aid the quake victims.

The PEKIRA representatives were led by Pg Dato Paduka Hj Jaludin bin Pg Mohd Limbang, the former Brunei Ambassador to Indonesia.

On hand to receive the $670 donation was Indonesian Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam Mr Herijanto Soeprapto, who was accompanied by Indonesian Embassy Minister Counsellor Nazirwan Hafiz.

Indonesian Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam Herijanto Soeprapto said that the donations - made in any form or amount - reflect the sympathy and concern of the nation towards the quake victims.

The embassy has been handing over the donations - made by both Bruneians as well as the Indonesian population residing here - amounting to $12,400, through Gusti Bendoro Pangeran Haryo Prabukusumo, the brother of Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
