Thousands displaced in the floods: This is how you can help

Astro has launched 'Projek Banjir Astro Kasih', a fundraising initiative to rally support to alleviate the sufferings of flood victims particularly in the East Coast.

The campaign enables the public to send their contributions at the various collection points to be set up next week starting Saturday (Dec 27) for the public to send food and clothing items which will be channeled to Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN).

The items required for the project are diapers, infant milk, milk powder, mattresses, toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap), sanitary pad, rice, cooking oil, mineral water, detergent, dried food items (sardines, biscuits), blankets, towels, malt drinks, tea, coffee and clothing.

The fund will be channeled to the Tabung Kumpulan Wang Amanah Bantuan Bencana Negara, Majlis Keselamatan Negara (MKN) and Jabatan Perdana Menteri.

For those who would like to donate or help in any way, do turn up during these times at these places and Astro personalities such as Reem Shahwa, Krill and Hanif will also be there:
