Art for Heart organising chairperson Gerald Goh said a total of RM8,719 was raised from two donors by Ingenious Tuition Centre’s principal, Karen Sia and academic director Ng Paik San who launched their artwork and photographs a month ago at Sarawak United peoples’ party (SUPP) Batu Kitang service centre a month ago.

Goh said as the money was raised through their artworks, they were given the privilege to select their choice of who they want to donate to. The remaining RM4,281 were to be distributed to the needy community.

This morning, State assemblyman, Lo Khere Chiang, witnessed the handover cheque to SMK Sg Tapang representative, Angelina Suzie by Goh. He also got a cheque from Goh to be given to needy individuals in his constituency.

Lo said despite having busy jobs, the two donors managed to draw and took photographs of their work to sell so that they can give to the needy.
