KUCHING: Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) Kampung Paya Mebi Social and Welfare Bureau donated a wheelchair to a man at Kampung Paya Mebi here during a ceremony, yesterday.

Its chairman Shamsudin Unai handed over the wheelchair to 56-year-old Reduan Piee who suffers from hemiplegia caused by a stroke, which makes it difficult for him to walk.

According to Shamsudin, who is also PBB Batu Kitang branch secretary, the wheelchair was obtained through the Bantuan Kasih programme which was organised by the bureau.

“This is an ongoing programme and we hope more people would come forward to help those in need,” he said.

Also present during the ceremony were Kampung Paya Mebi village head Ismail Tanggok.

Meanwhile, Reduan, who can only walk slowly with the aid of a cane, expressed his gratitude towards the bureau for their concern and support.

“I am very grateful for the donation. With the wheelchair, I will now be able to move easily,” said Reduan, who was a lorry driver in Melaka before he had a stroke four years ago.

The Bantuan Kasih programme by PBB Kampung Paya Mebi Social and Welfare Bureau stared back in 2003 and has assisted the less fortunate through donations such as wheelchairs, school supplies and food.
