Piasau State Assemblyman, Datuk Sebastian Ting Chiew Yew in his opening speech during the event which was held at Coco Cabana Miri on Saturday night, disclosed that such fundraising event helped sending positive message to the community in order to assist those less fortunate children at PDK Morsjaya and PDK Batu Niah.
The event was meant to help raise fund for the community-based rehabilitation (PDK) Morsjaya and PDK Batu Niah.
