COMMITTED to serving the community, Sri Muniswarar Temple, Jalan Baru, once again organised the much anticipated ‘Medical Camp & Family Day’ on March 24.
Perai assemblyman Datuk Seri Sundarajoo Somu lauded the temple for its continued dedication to organising various community programmes and charitable works.
“I have heard so much about this programme, and this is the first time I am attending the event as the Perai assemblyman.
“It is wonderful to see that the programme is being attended not only by Perai residents but also by others.
“The medical camp includes, health screening such as blood sugar level tests, dental check-ups as well as a blood donation drive,” Sundarajoo told Buletin Mutiara.
Its chairman M. Segaran said that the annual event was held in collaboration with a total of 30 non-governmental organisations (NGOs).
“We will usually organise this event in the middle of the year, but this time around, it was held earlier due to the temple’s upcoming renovation.
“It is an honour for us, to have our Perai assemblyman Datuk Seri Sundarajoo, attend this event today,” Segaran said.
At the event, Sri Muniswarar Temple presented a total of 10 wheelchairs to the needy.
Apart from that, other activities, such as a cooking competition, a tug-of-war game between primary school students, and a colouring contest for kids were also held at the event.
