KUCHING (Aug 1): Deputy Premier Datuk Amar Dr Sim Kui Hian has urged the public to support community welfare efforts through donations.
Speaking when launching the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS) Kuching Branch’s annual Flag Day 2025 campaign at the Unifor Complex today, he emphasised that charitable giving plays a crucial role in sustaining essential humanitarian services and strengthening Sarawak’s social fabric.
“I urge the public to support community welfare efforts through donations,” he said.
MRCS Kuching Branch Deputy Chairman Dr Chou Chii Ming said the Flag Day campaign, held annually, not only raises funds but also reinforces the importance of community care and volunteerism.
“This project reminds the public of the importance of community welfare services and seeks their support for the work we do all year round,” he said.
Running throughout August, this year’s campaign will see donation drives held in over 100 schools across Kuching, with contributions collected from teachers, parents, and students.
Donors will receive the iconic Red Crescent ‘paper flag’ sticker as a token of appreciation.
The public may also donate via online banking to MRCS Kuching Branch’s Public Bank account at 3112885809.
