KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 (Bernama) -- Five asnaf families comprising orphans, farmers and the underprivileged in Perak recently received donations from Padiberas Nasional Berhad (BERNAS) under its ‘Ikhlas Ramadhan BERNAS’ programme.
BERNAS said in a statement today that the asnaf families are from the Almuzakkirin Mosque kariah in Kampung Chawi, Telok Intan, who are also part of the BERNAS Rice Mill (KBB) community in Changkat Lada, Perak.
Apart from receiving cash aid, the families were taken to a supermarket in Manjung to shop for new sets of clothes for Aidilfitri.
BERNAS also feted them at a breaking-of-fast together with the Sungai Ranggam community and the mosque kariah.
"We have not forgotten the asnaf group so that they can celebrate the holy month of Ramadan and Aildilfitri like everyone else and through this programme, BERNAS is pleased to be able to brighten up their day," said Bernas Supply Management and Scheme Department head Mohamad Solhi Mohd Salleh.
Meanwhile, 15 asnaf families received food aid boxes containing, among others, rice, milk, sugar, and cooking oil as well as cash aid at the breaking of fast event.
At the event, BERNAS also channelled cash assistance to five mosques, namely Masjid Al-Muzakkirin Kampung Bukit Chawi, Masjid Nurul Hidayah, Masjid Muhajirin, Masjid Jumhuriah and Surau Ibadur Rahman.
