RBAF Commander Major General (U) Dato Seri Pahlawan Haji Hamzah bin Haji Sahat, service commanders and senior military officers from the RBAF visited 18 recipients’ homes concurrently across the country to present the donations.
The Waqaf contribution is obtained from the RBAF Trust Fund and charity funds from the British Loan Service Community Shop.
A total of 31 medical supplies and equipment were contributed including electric medical beds, electric and regular wheel chairs, commodes, air mattresses, walking frames, and medical suction pumps.
