The Malaysian Association PNG has been giving donations in cash and kind to needy Papua New Guineans for over 19 years now; this was revealed by the Malaysian Association PNG Chairman for Charity Fundraising Committee Mr Ivan Lu.
Mr Lu said Malaysian Association PNG has the heart to help children and other Papua New Guineans who are in need of financial support or other forms of support and for the last 19 years they have been at the forefront donating cash and kind and giving help and support where needed and where it is possible for them to come in and help.
“The Malaysian Association PNG is made up of all Malaysian families who work and live here in this country and we feel that we should also give back to this country through charity,” said Mr Lu.
“In these 19 years of charity donations through cash and kind to the needy Papua New Guineans, we have distributed more than K10million in cash and kind donations,” he stated. Last year through to this year, it has been a very challenging time because of Covid 19 and the pandemic has very much put a strain on every individual and business house financially, however that will not stop the Malaysian families to still give to those who need help greatly in this drastic time,” says Mr Lu.
As such, this year alone, the Malaysian Association PNG members have contributed and raised a fund of about K80, 000 to give as donations and Mr Lu says he is hopeful that by the end of this month or the next they should raise enough to give to those in this country who are badly affected by the pandemic and are in need.
Mr Lu said, “The Malaysian Association PNG members and our family, we have the heart for the people of Papua New Guinea and we will continue to do good to all those in need.”
