I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Mak Tom for giving me the opportunity to attend the Buka Puasa Session on 06 September 2009 with the orphans at the Rumah Anak Yatim Shifa in Taman P. Ramlee, Setapak.

This is the second year as the MP for Wangsa Maju that I had the opportunity to attend the Buka Puasa Session with the girls, who are hospitable and well-mannered. This wellfare home caters for girls from the age of 3 to 15 years old. This orphanage also relies solely on public donations and help for its survival. Those who want to help in any way may contact Kak Tom at 017-3387959.
