The families that received the food parcels were those with monthly household income less than RM500. They also lived mainly in low cost housing areas and squatter colonies. The food parcels contained essential grocery items such as rice, canned foods, milk, etc. These food items donated were intended to supplement the supplies of these families during the festive celebrations.  <\/p>\n

According to MHS President, Datuk A.Vaithilingam, "this programme is another one in our on-going series of activities held throughout the year focussed on community development". He further added, "Hari Raya and Deepavali are major religious and cultural celebrations involving the Malay and Indian communities. And as we have always done in Malaysia, we tend to celebrate our festivals together, in the spirit of Muhibbah. Since both these festivals have come close to each other again this year, we have decided to run this annual programme for both communities again, as we did last year".  <\/p>\n

MHS also adopted the Petaling Utama Flats for its on-going Community Development Pro-gramme. The ATMAH Project team will soon start its tuition and human values classes there. En Ismail again thanked MHS for this effort, saying that "this effort and contribution will make a meaningful difference to the many young people who live in the area". <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
