KUCHING: Head of State Tun Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud’s wife Toh Puan Datuk Patinggi Ragad Kurdi Taib presented donations to help needy families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The donations were presented during a ‘Majlis Jalinan Kasih’ held at Pasir Pandak today to help ease the recipients’ burden.
