Govt to channel RM3m to Malaysian Red Crescent to encourage volunteerism, says PM Anwar

KUALA LUMPUR, May 5 — The government has agreed to channel a total of RM3 million to the Malaysian Red Crescent to encourage the association in their voluntary and humanitarian work and services.

“The other RM1 million is for improvement and maintenance work at MRC headquarters in every state,” he said when launching MRC’s 75th anniversary celebration and new national headquarters here today. He said the spirit of volunteerism is also in line with one of the core values in the concept of Madani, which is courtesy, which values universal humanity regardless of narrowed racial disparities.

“The MRC has been around for 75 years, almost the same age as I am, and they have a very extensive experience in voluntary and humanitarian acts as reported in the media. Their representatives were always there taking risks to help others during a tragedy, disaster and calamity, with some even sustaining injuries,” he said.
