[hang nadim] Gerak hati, ingin lihat sendiri bawa PM ke Palestin.....

Cosmetics firm, FB groups raise funds January 21st, 2013New Straits Times KUALA LUMPUR – CONCERNED over the plight of beleaguered civilians in Palestine, a cosmetics company and two Facebook groups have organised a charity auction to help raise funds for Tabung Kemanusiaan Palestin Media Prima Berhad. Ushine Heatlh and Beauty, Malaysia Cook Along Team (MyCat) and Cantik Dalaman & Luaran Facebook groups collaborated for the one-day event and raised RM30,000 from auctions and booth sales. In collaboration with Kraftangan Malaysia, the “Jom Lelong” event saw various items from personalities being auctioned to raise funds. Kraftangan Malaysia chairman Datuk Sohaimi Shahadan said the people in Palestine still needed help even with the current ceasefire in place. “Even with the condition somewhat stabilised, they (Palestinians) still need help to lead their day-to-day lives. “All proceeds will go directly to the fund. This event is special because people, including me, are auctioning off their own items for the cause,” he said while launching the event yesterday. Sohaimi participated in the auction by selling off two of his favourite watches, two ties and a pair of shoes. Among the items auctioned, one particular item stood out, an autographed guitar by Joe Wings, which went for RM800. Another item that sparked a heated bidding was a 21-year-old original poster of rock group Wings which had been autographed by its members. Proceeds from the auctions and sales were received by Media Prima Berhad group general manager (stakeholder management) Zulkifli Mohd Salleh, representing Tabung Kemanusiaan Palestin Media Prima Berhad.
