MRCS Appeals For Assistance To Tidal Waves Victims

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 26 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS) has appealed to the public to extend all possible assistance to victims of the tidal waves in Penang, Kedah, Perlis and other affected areas in the country.
The tidal waves were set off by a powerful earthquake in northern Sumatra Sunday morning.
"Together with the National Press Club (NPC), the MRCS welcomes all forms of assistance, in cash or kind, to help victims during this difficult time," MRCS Media Committee chairman Datuk Ahmad A.Talib told Bernama Sunday evening.
Cheques can be made out to the Malaysian Red Crescent Society and marked Tidal Waves Victims at the back of the cheques to be forwarded to the NPC or to any of the MRCS offices.
Ahmad said that any inquiries can be directed to 03-42578122.
Two weeks ago, the MRCS and the NPC launched a fund for flood victims.
