Miri Division Disaster Management Committee Receives RM300,000 Donation from Two Entrepreneurs

(MIRI, 3rd) The Miri Division Disaster Management Committee (JPBB) recently received a generous donation from two entrepreneurs, Chung Kien Ping and Ivan Phua Wai Kang, totaling RM300,000 to support emergency disaster relief efforts in the Miri area.

Due to continuous heavy rain recently, some parts of Miri have experienced floods and landslides, prompting various sectors of society to extend help and provide assistance. Entrepreneur Chung Kien Ping donated RM100,000 to the Miri Division Disaster Management Committee, witnessed by the Premier of Sarawak, Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari, expressing hope that this act will encourage more people to actively participate in disaster relief efforts.

Meanwhile, Chung Kien Ping's partner, Ivan Phua Wai Kang, also generously donated RM200,000, with the donation received on behalf of the JPBB by Sarawak's Minister of Transport and the minister responsible for JPBB, Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin. The funds will be used for emergency assistance, supply of materials, and helping affected families quickly return to normal lives.

This donation handover ceremony was specially arranged during the Chinese New Year period. On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year (February 1st), Premier Abang Johari and his wife, Puan Sri Datuk Amar Juma'ani, ended their Chinese New Year visit to Miri with a special visit to Chung Kien Ping's father, Chung Tai Yu, a longtime friend of over 40 years, and his family to celebrate the New Year together and witness this charitable donation ceremony.

This morning, Ivan Phua Wai Kang and Chung Kien Ping also formally handed over the cheque to Miri Division Disaster Management Committee chairman and Miri Division Officer Galong Luang (Galong Luang) at a meeting discussing the resettlement plan for residents of Kampung Lereng Bukit and Kampung Haji Baki, with Dato Sri Lee Kim Shin witnessing.
