I Was Featured In NST

I was featured in the New Sunday Times, 13 November 2005! I collected RM845.70 during Hari Raya and my father passed the money to Dato’ Mukhriz Mahathir at his open house in Seri Cahaya, Mines to be given to the Peace Malaysia collection for the Pakistan Earthquake Disaster Fund.

I collected all these money from my tissue box collection box. This is my second attempt. The first time, I collected money for the Tsunami Disaster Fund and handed it to TV3. My parents told me the lady I handed the money to later became the Queen of Brunei. 🙂

When my father gave the money to Dato’ Mukhriz and explained how I collected the money, he wanted NST reporters to interview me. So I talked to the reporters and they took my picture. The next day, I was surprised my parents said my story was in the Sunday paper and they went to buy 10 copies. I was very happy! 🙂

I also met Tun Dr. Mahathir at the same Hari Raya Open House where I met Dato’ Mukhriz. Tun Dr. Mahathir put RM30.00 into my collection box and later more people added more money into the collection. I spoke to Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah and she said this to me, “Nanti Allah balas”.
