4th January 2009 – UMNO Auckland together with JKKK Kampung Atap / Kampung Portugis, Malacca, organized ‘Program Jalinan Mesra Rakyat 2009′ which was held at the JKKK Kg. Atap community hall. It was launched by Datin Seri Datuk Wira Hajjah Asmah bte Abdul Rahman, wife of YAB Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, Chief Minister of Malacca.
Health was the main focus of this program. Free medical check up such as blood pressure, ideal BMI, and pepsmier test were offered. Blood donation was also held throughout the program. There was also a presentation by the Community Health Clinic of the Health Ministry of Malaysia and the Prisons Department of Malaysia. Private companies such as Naza Motor, E-Dymium and Takaful also opened booths.
Besides providing an opportunity for the people in the surrounding areas to undergo free medical check up and gain knowledge from the presentations, financial aid were given to 50 children who really needed help to enable them to go to school and study in comfort with sufficient basic stationary/equipment.
UMNO Auckland would like to express our highest gratitude to JKKK Kg. Atap for helping in a lot of matters and sharing the experience to organize an event that involved the local people in the area.
