I would like to invite everyone to uphold the humanitarian spirit.” PERKESO Representative, Norhayati binti Muhammad Sidik Norhayati from PERKESO is familiar with Tzu Chi due to work interactions. “I see that Tzu Chi Foundation has a significant impact on all communities. Especially for clients that we PERKESO are unable to assist, we will channel their information to Tzu Chi, and Tzu Chi is willing to help them. We are grateful for that.” In addition to care recipients, Tzu Chi invited personnel from various government agencies that have long collaborations with Tzu Chi, as well as guests from the private sector, to join the event.
