KUCHING (July 21): Petroleum Sarawak Berhad (Petros) today handed over a contribution of RM140,280 to the State Disaster Fund.
Petros Board of Directors chairman Tan Sri Hamid Bugo presented the cheque to State Disaster Management Committee chairman Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas at the latter’s office in Wisma Bapa Malaysia.
In a statement, Petros said the contribution is for the procurement of critical support equipment for intensive care units of hospitals statewide.
