Blood donation campaign - 11/11/2017

Persatuan Sahabat Prihatin Pulau Pinang and JKKK Taman Pekaka will jointly organize a blood donation campaign at Tesco Extra Sungai Dua on November 11 (Saturday) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. We welcome public to come forward and support such a meaningful event.

Cheah Peng Guan, chairman of Persatuan Sahabat Prihatin Pulau Pinang, said that the campaign was held in response to the call of the Penang Hospital Blood Bank to alleviate the problem of low blood stock. The event was also supported by Penang City Council members Gan Ay Ling and Kumaresan Arumugam.

"This time, we jointly organize the event with JKKK Taman Pekaka to promote community service awareness. The organizer hope to collect 100 packs of blood"

In addition, Lew Kah Weng, chairman of the JKKK Taman Pekaka, called on residents of Taman Pekaka to donate blood actively in response to the call of "saving three lives with 1 blood donation".

"This is a very meaningful activity, especially since Penang Hospital Blood Bank needs a lot of blood daily."

MBPP Councilor Gan Ay Ling hopes more young people will come forward to donate their blood.

"Everyone knows that blood donation is the easiest way to help others, and at the same time there is no harm to the body. However, there are still many qualified people who dare not make the first move"

In conjunction with this blood donation event, MBPP Councilor Kumaresan Arumugam has also make special arrangement to facilitate local residents and hawkers to pay their various bills thru MBPP mobile payment counter, this including MBPP rental, MBPP summon ticket, MBPP assessment and water bill and so on.

"Mobile payment counter will be available from 12 noon to 3 pm on that day and public can choose to pay their bills by cash, cheque or money order."
