FCAS Women Division to celebrate International Women’s Day
KOTA KINABALU: The Women Division of The Federation of Chinese Associations (FCAS) will be holding a celebration in conjunction with the International Women’s Day on March 8 at Hakka Hall, Tg Lipat starting from 6.30pm.
The aim of the celebration is to create more awareness of the women’s contribution to the society, and in recognition of their ability and capability in dealing with the family and working life.
More women should be encouraged to enter into the employment field to explore their talents and potentials. They can contribute to the society and in nation building.
The celebration is named “A night in Venice” with the theme on masquerade with western costumes. Masquerade is originated and well known in Venice, Italy. In the olden days, carnivals with masks were popular in Venice. People from the poor and rich wore masks to conceal their identity and be able to mingle around without exposing themselves. Masquerade forms a symbol of freedom to associate with others irrespective of their levels. Women were given better chance to expose themselves to social life without revelling their identity.
The Women Division has the honour to invite the wife of the Yang di-Pertua Negeri Toh Puan Norlidah Jasni as guest of honour to grace the celebration.
Besides, the celebration will act as a platform in aid of Yayasan Nur Jauhar on charity for the needy communities.
The celebration will be held in the form of selling tickets at RM180 per ticket.
Chairlady of the Women’s Division, Sherley Wong, calls on the public to participate in support of the charity.
Those wish to purchase the tickets may contact treasurer Jacqueline Ting at 011-1314 9494 and assistant Treasurer Jassy Liew at 016-805 5997.
