Raja Muda visits rumah sejahtera on bicycle

The Raja Muda of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullal Thursday cycled 15 kilometres to visit Rumah Sejahtera in Kampung Batu Bertangkup near here.

He started off from the Batu Bertangkup small-and-medium industry zone and visited some traditional villages before arriving at Rumah Sejahtera.

The welfare home occupied by four senior citizens, Omar Abdullah, Othman Ismail, Abd Rahman Talib and Mat Saad Mat Isa, is managed by the Peninsular Malaysia Welfare Centre Council.

The Raja Muda chatted and presented tithes from the Islamic Religious and Perlis Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) amounting to RM400 to the occupants aged above 60.

Tuanku Syed Faizuddin, who also heads MAIPs, also visited the Batu Bertangkup workshop for differently-abled persons.

The visit was part of his weekly cycling programme to interact with the local community and he was accompanied by state secretary Datuk Azizan Hamid and state police chief SAC Zull Aznam Haron.
