Also present during the three-hour shopping spree which began at 10.30am was SPB’s Miri senior manager field audit, Wan Mohd Nisal.
“This is part of our Social Corporate Responsibility, brightening the day for the underprivileged children and sharing with them the cheer and joy of the festive season,” said Wan Mohd when met yesterday.
Meanwhile, one of the children, Haikal Abdullah, 11, expressed his gratitude to SPB for allowing them to shop for their own Baju Raya.
“I hope they can organise more such trips next year. Thank you, Sarawak Plantation Berhad!” he said.
