British Malaysian Society donates RMI5,800 to charity homes

THE British Malaysian Society (BMS) recently donated 3,000 (RM1S,800) to three charity homes in Selarigor.

The donation was raised at a charity drive during the society ’s 25th annual dinner in London two months ago.

The three homes Selangor Cheshire Homes, The Little Sisters of the Poor and Montfort Boys Town each received a cheque for 1000 (about RM5,300).

Present to receive the donations were Selangor Cheshire Homes president Khatijah Sulieman, The Little Sisters of the Poor voluntary doctor Dr Loh Tak Seng and Montfort Boys Town administrative officer S. Arulanandam.

"We are very keen on developing the society ’s work not Only in the United Kingdom but also in Malaysia," said British High Commissioner Boyd McClear who presented the cheques on behalf of the BMS.

"The fund raising was a decision taken by the society to make contributions through charities because it is important to help the less unfortunate.

"BMS has demonstrated Its desire to reach back into Malaysia and this is an excellent way to channel BMS ’s intentions." Khatijah, who thanked BMS on behalf of the three homes for the donations, said the money would be very helpful to them.

The society is represented by the Kuata Lumpur Panel in Malaysia which provides information, advice and assistance to society members on an "on-call" basis.

"This event marks the society ’s appreciation of looking after the less fortunate and I would like the society in Malaysia to start raising funds for various charities," said BMS Kuala Lumpur panel chairman Tunku Abdul Aziz Ibrahim said.

BMS was set up to enhance relations between Malaysia and Britain in the fields of education, culture and commerce.
