TASEK GELUGOR, March 22 (Bernama) -- In conjunction with this year's Ramadan, the Penang Regional Development Authority (PERDA) continues to strengthen its engagement with rural communities through its Sentuhan Kasih Ramadan initiative.
Its chairman Datuk Shaik Hussein Mydin said the programme aims to foster stronger connections between village communities and the agency while extending support to asnaf, orphans, and single mothers in preparation for the upcoming Aidilfitri celebrations.
“This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts under the Harmonious Community Development Programme. Through Sentuhan Kasih Ramadan, we hope to not only ease the burden of those in need but also reinforce our role in supporting the welfare of rural communities,” he said during the event at Masjid Ar Rahman Padang Cempedak today.
