KUCHING: Sarawak Timber Industry Development Corporation (STIDC) and Sarawak Timber Association (STA) have donated RM2 million worth of personal protective equipment (PPE) sets to frontliners.
Sarawak Deputy Chief Minister Datuk Amar Awang Tengah Ali Hasan said this is an effort to support the state government in combating Covid-19.
“Everyone has a role and it is hoped that more organisations and bodies will lend their hands and contribute. We are all in this together and let us all be united and hope and pray that we will all pull through this difficult time to become stronger and more resilient,” he said in a statement here, today.
Awang Tengah said, the PPEs which were delivered via sea cargo from China, arrived today at Kuching Senari Port (Custom Clearance).
“At times like these, where the need and demand for PPEs is huge from all over the world, we thanked our partners in China for accommodating and securing our request and order,” he said.
The medical disposables will be handed over to the Sarawak State Health Department through the Sarawak Disaster Management Committee (SDMC) on Saturday. – Bernama
