The distributor of Coca Cola drink, Coca Cola Refreshments Malaysia Sdn Bhd represented by their representative, Kevin Ling has also agreed to set up a stall at that night and to sell their beverages at very special prices which are lower than the market prices.

Earlier, LDP Youth presented donation to 200 local senior citizens, special needs children, widows and the less fortunate.
Tsang led the ceremony with Gum Gum LDP Youth chief Chan Wai Loon.
According to Tsang, the recipients were chosen from the Sandakan Welfare Department, Ren Ai Counselling Association, Taman Didikan Kanak-kanak Kurang Upaya Sandakan and Sandakan Community Rehabilitation Centre.
During the event, LDP Youth leaders distributed basic provision to the recipients including rice, cooking oil and sugar, along with ang pow in conjunction with the coming Chinese New Year.
Tsang said he hoped the donation would help relieve and cushion the burden of the recipients, regardless of their race, gender and age.
He added that LDP Youth hoped to continue to serve more for the community and reach out to more people who are in need in the near future.
Tsang thanked Karamunting Datuk Charles O Pang for his presence at the ceremony, and Sandakan Girl Guides chairwoman Datin Winnie Khoo for providing the venue of the event.
