“We’re reaching out to the public by contributing RM2 from every ‘Ramadan Raya Combo’ purchase to YFBM to support those in need through this programme.

“Our target is to raise a minimum of RM60,000, but even if we don’t reach it, we have already provided YFBM with the full amount in advance to ensure this CSR initiative runs smoothly, as we sincerely want to assist the less fortunate during this holy month,” she told reporters at the programme launch at the YFBM office today.
