KUCHING: Laugher filled the hall of Rumah Kanak Kanak Toh Puan Norkiah as the children were feted to a Hari Raya buffet dinner on Friday night, jointly organised by the Heritage Society of RCBM Hospital and Kelab Majlis Perbandaran Padawan.

Guest of honour was Lo Khere Chiang who is honorary patron of Heritage Society of RCBM Hospital as well as Padawan Municipal Council (MPP) chairman.

A total of 120 guests attended the event – comprising 62 resident children, 21 staff from Rumah Kanak Kanak Toh Puan Norkiah, four councillors from MPP and members from Heritage Society of RCBM Hospital and Kelab Majlis Perbandaran Padawan.

The children were given duit raya by Lo himself and a goodie bag sponsored by Borneo Biscuits Sdn Bhd and Pico Food Industries Sdn Bhd.

F&N Beverages Marketing and Nestle Sdn Bhd also provided sponsorship to make this event a success.

Lo encouraged the children to strive for success in order to become devoted citizens, and told them that education was of prime importance to build a future generation empowered by knowledge.

He commended the establishment on their achievements with the children and the special bond fostered.

Mini games of sorts were organised for all those present. All teams received hampers sponsored by various individuals and donors.

“Through this we wish to share with everyone the joy of receiving and giving,” said Heritage Society of RCBM Hospital president Angelina Jong.
