Bernama’s Head of Management Services and Finance, Sharifah Zaini Syed Zain said the contribution was made possible through a stragetic partnership with Mydin Bhd under the Kasih@Bernama, Mydin Prihatin programme.
“The contributions were an attribution of Bernama’s concern towards the suffering of the staff who were affected by the floods in the East Coast state,” said Sharifah after presenting the contributions to two Bernama staff from the Terengganu bureau, here today.
Sharifah Zaini said every staff affected by the floods received two boxes of food products, mattress, stove, gas cyclinder, cupboard and powerbank worth RM500.
