On 28th July, 2013 (Sunday), at 2:30 pm, Dr. Wan Mohd Azizi bin Wan Sulaiman (Asst. Prof, Basic Medical Science Department, Kulliyyah of Pharmacy, IIUM) and his team have arrived to the premise of Pahang Rohingya Language School (P.R.L.S) at Jalan Gambang, Kg. Belukar, Batu 3, 25150 Kuantan with three full loaded vans of clothes for women, men and children including 30 packets of sugar 1 kg in each, 30 packets of nutritious biscuits for the aged and 30 pieces of ‘Telekung’, a pair of white clothes use to cover the body of a woman during a prayer and many dozens of books for the school library. It was estimated that about ten thousands (RM 10,000) worth clothes alone were distributed to the Rohingya people living in Kuantan for promoting their standards of living.
Based on the schedule of the program, an opening speech was given by Mr. Mohammed Rafique Shah (the Chairman of the newly founded organization, Rohingya Social & Welfare Association, Pahang) for 10 minutes and Dr. Wan Mohd Azizi bin Wan Sulaiman (the Chairman of Surau Tajul Akbar, Indera Mahkota 14, 25200 Kuantan, Pahang) for 10 minutes on the importance of the holy month of Ramadhan and the plight of Rohingya people. Dr. Wan and his delegation shared the sorrows and happiness of the Rohingya people at the same time before leaving the school. The program was continued until Ifta’ar so that everyone could get a chance for getting the clothes of his/ her choice from three piles of Men, Women and Children. There were even some Rohingya families who came later after having an Ifta’ar. All the clothes were piled accordingly by our school volunteers and allowed to choose the colour, design and sizes of their own.
It was a very delightful program for the entire Rohingya community living in Kuantan for having such big donation program in the first and only Rohingyalish School in Malaysia. Dr. Wan and his team have also scheduled to make the second distribution program on this weekend at Kg. Selamat and Balok under the banner of Rohingya Social & Welfare Association, Pahang (RSWAP). Dr Wan and his team have invited the EC members of RSWAP and school management committee to their Ifta’ar program at Tajul Akbar mosque on Thursday (1st Aug, 2013) evening.
On behalf of Rohingya Social & Welfare Association, Pahang, I’d like to thank Dr. Wan Mohd Azizi bin Wan Sulaiman and his entire team for their outstanding work in upgrading the lives of Rohingya people through such type of social services for the sake of Allah, peace and communal harmony.
