KUCHING: Deputy Minister for Energy and Environmental Sustainability, Datuk Dr. Hazland Abang Hipni, continues to demonstrate his strong commitment to supporting the underprivileged (asnaf) in his constituency.
During a ceremony held at Masjid Darul Falah, Kampung Tabuan Haji Drahman 1 yesterday, he distributed aid to 160 asnaf to assist them in preparing for the upcoming Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration.
Among the recipients were senior citizens, chronic patients, heirs of the deceased, and students from public institutions of higher learning (IPTA).
Additionally, at the same event, Dr. Hazland, who is also the Demak Laut assemblyman, provided emergency assistance to four household heads whose homes were destroyed in a fire that occurred on Tuesday evening.
“The cash assistance hopefully can help to alleviate the burden of the affected families, especially during the blessed month of Ramadan,” he said in a press conference yesterday.
“This initiative to assist the asnaf community is expected to continue in other villages within the Demak Laut constituency, allowing more people in need to receive aid,” he added.
Before concluding the event, Dr. Hazland also took the opportunity to break fast and perform congregational prayers with the attendees.
