Gift of health centre for Bam
When a devastating earthquake hit the historic city of Bam in Iran last December, Malaysians showed their sympathy and scooped out a lot of money from their pockets to help the victims.
The Malaysian Government immediately came out with RM3.8mil, half of which was for Mercy Malaysia’s mission to the site of the catastrophe.
Yesterday, Mercy Malaysia president Datuk Dr Jemilah Mahmood and her team of volunteers reached a milestone in their pursuit of helping the international community with the ground-breaking ceremony for a RM1mil health centre in the middle of the rubble-riddled city.
The team had left Malaysia on Friday night to attend the ceremony, which was jointly officiated by Dr Jemilah and Social Security Organisation of Iran (SSO) chairman Dr Gholamreza Suleymani at the 0.44ha plot at Abu Ali Street here. Malaysian ambassador Mazlan Muhammad was among those who witnessed the ceremony.
