(Miri, 4th) The Chairman of Pei Min Middle School Board of Directors, Khor Ooi Long, stated that the school's lion dance fundraising was affected due to continuous heavy rain during the Chinese New Year period causing floods. As of now, the fundraising amount has decreased by more than 30% compared to the same period in previous years.
He added that in previous years, the lion dance troupe would visit areas like Batu Niah , Suai, Bekenu, Marudi, and oil palm plantations for fundraising, but this year, the continuous rain causing floods prevented the team from visiting these areas, indirectly affecting the fundraising results.
Currently, the fundraising amount by the school's lion dance troupe is still at least 30% less compared to past years. Therefore, he urges the Chinese community to actively support and help Pei Min raise the necessary funds.
