PETALING JAYA: Perodua visited Selayang Hospital last Saturday, bringing the spirit of Chinese New Year to its pediatric ward as the national carmaker’s 10 volunteers and UFirst mascot Ari distributed angpows and hampers containing string bags and stationery to some 80 child patients, who were also treated to a delicious lunch.
“Delivering on Perodua’s long-term charity commitment with Selayang Hospital’s paediatric ward, we hope our humble contributions managed to evoke the spirit of Chinese New Year in both the children and hardworking staff, who will not be celebrating at home this year.
“Last Chinese New Year, we presented the pediatric ward with three ambu bags (handheld breathing apparatus) and distributed hampers to all the children. We keep in constant touch with Selayang Hospital to learn what they need and want.
“We have loads of activities planned for the children over the next few years, including puppet and clown performances, colouring and sing-alongs. Our volunteers will also help to maintain and improve the children’s play area by buying more toys and books as well as decorating and cleaning it,” said Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad.
Perodua also gave the pediatric ward three pulse oximeters (oxygen measurement device) and six portable screens worth RM12,000 in all. Perodua Executive Chief Engineer Albert Ngu presented the items on behalf of the carmaker to the hospital’s Paediatric Department Head Dr Selva Kumar.
