On December 20, a horrifying fire broke out at Old Klang Road and engulfed 25 squatter houses!
I was told by the fire victims that most of the residents who stay in the houses that burnt down are migrant workers. Only five houses which burnt are the local Chinese.
At at the moment, two families are staying at the Dewan DBKL at Sri Petaling. The rest are staying in friends or relatives’ houses.
On 24th December, Christmas Day eve, I visited the two families who were staying in the Dewan DBKL and I gave them some money, electrical products and groceries.
Dentist Datuk Dr Wong Run Yuen from Sri Petaling came along and donated RM500 to each family. Mr Tan Tai Tong, the chairman of Sri Petaling Residents Association donated RM400 and a friend Mr King Khai Ying passed me RM400 donation.
The five families are waiting for DBKL to arrange them to stay in PPR flats.
Christmas is the time for us to show kindness and love. If you have time and if you are frim Sri Petaling, it will be good for you to visit the fire victims while they are still staying at the Dewan DBKL.
