TABUNG Harapan Malaysia has collected RM27 million as at 9.30am yesterday. Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng thanked all donors for their contributions.

“With the additional RM3 million we collected today (yesterday), it will bring the total amount to more than RM30 million.”

He was met here at Komtar where he received RM3 million from Ewein Bhd, Magni-Tech Industries Bhd and tycoon Tan Sri Tan Kok Ping.

The Malaysian Retail Chain Association (MRCA), through its charity foundation, also donated RM200,000 to the fund that was launched on May 30.

Malindo Air has pledged that it would contribute RM1 from each sale of flight tickets within Malaysia towards the fund.

The finance minister recently disclosed that the Federal Government’s actual debt and liabilities stood at RM1.087 trillion, or 80.3 per cent of the gross domestic product.

The public can get information on the collection of Tabung Harapan Malaysia from the ministry’s website at www.treasury.gov.my, Facebook (Kementerian Kewangan Malaysia), Instagram (MOF_malaysia) and Twitter (MOFmalaysia).
