Lanang MP distributes welfare aid, MRP grants to support needy, local bodies
Lau (centre) hands over the assistance to one of the recipients at her office. SIBU (July 3): A total 69 beneficiaries received various forms of welfare aid from Deputy Dewan Rakyat Speaker and Lanang MP Alice Lau during a simple presentation ceremony held here recently. In the same event, Lau also handed over Minor Rural Project (MRP) grants to 17 organisations. She said the welfare aid distributed included dialysis assistance, death benefits, medical aid, new-born benefits under the Lanang constituency, and other forms of support. 'By distributing these funds, we hope the recipients feel the warmth and care of the community,' she said in a statement. Lau added that she hopes the initiative would inspire more people to show compassion and help those in genuine need, contributing towards building a caring and compassionate society. She also said those requiring long-term treatment, such as dialysis and cancer patients, may apply for assistance through her service centre on an annual basis. In addition, she launched the 'Welcome, Lanang New Born!' programme in September 2024 as part of the 'Program Sayangi Lanang' series. Under this initiative, babies born on or after Sept 16, 2024, with at least one biological parent registered as a voter in Lanang, are eligible for the benefit. 'Parents may submit copies of their identity cards and the baby's birth certificate to Pusat Khidmat P211 Lanang (YB Alice Lau) within 90 days of the birth to apply for this benefit,' she said. Lau also reminded representatives of the recipient organisation to submit post-event and utilisation reports after receiving their grants, in line with the principles of transparency and accountability. 'Failure to do so will result in the organisation being blacklisted by the relevant authorities, and future applications will be rejected,' she stressed. Constituents in Lanang who wish to apply for dialysis aid, educational aid, death benefits, medical aid, disaster aid, or other forms of assistance may visit Pusat Khidmat P211 Lanang at 2, Lorong Lanang 82, during office hours.
