OYA: The people especially the needy in our midst have been urged to forward their application for assistance to the Welfare Department.

In making the call, Minister of Welfare, Community Wellbeing, Women, Family and Childhood Development, Dato Sri Hajah Fatimah Abdullah pointed that the department is always open for application.

“The assistance is always open, and there is no closing date for the needy to apply through the Welfare Department,” she said.

She stated this while speaking at the fourth series of the Ziarah Ramadhan programme held at Kampung Boom here on Tuesday.

Held at Surau Darul Ikhlas, the function also saw the presentation of assistance to thirty deserving recipients.
