The Malay Mail, February
15, 2003
In conjunction with Valentine's
Day yesterday, the Atria Shopping Centre organized a Caring and Sharing :
Valentine's Day Charity Programme to raise funds for two needy Malaysians.
Jointly organized by the
Petaling Jaya Community Centre, Malaysian Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association,
Sweet Florist and McClient Florist, the event was launched by Deputy Youth and
Sports Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat.
The aim is to raise RM10,000 to
help Mohd Shaari Kulop Maarof and R. Rajeswary lead a better life.
Mohd Shaari, 54, a former cook,
is diabetic and lost his right leg below the knee last year.
Meanwhile, 16 year old
Rajeswary lost her left arm last February after she was caught in the rear wheel
of a motorcycle.
Yesterday, Ong presented the
duo with their prosthetic limbs.
During the event, Atria
Shopping Centre placed donation boxes at the ground floor and sold flowers to
raise money.
The shopping centre will also
hold a charity sale this weekend.
