MELAKA:

The state government and its agencies will contribute a total of RM350,000 to the national debt relief fund Tabung Harapan Malaysia, said Chief Minister Adly Zahari.

He said the state government contribution was RM100,000 and the balance was collected from state government agencies including the state government’s subsidiary companies.

“We will hand over the contribution as soon as possible, as we have collected from several agencies including the state government,” he told reporters after a Tabung Harapan Malaysia charity sale at Pasar Transit Melaka in Bachang today.

The two-day charity sale was held by the Melaka Fruits Farm Owners Association and will be held in five other locations in Melaka Tengah district.

Adly said the charity sale would generate another RM50,000 which would be handed over to the federal government to help pay for the national debt.
