SANDAKAN:  Batu Sapi Member of Parliament Datuk Linda Tsen Thau Lin visited the Sri Harapan Senior Citizens Home in Jalan Sibuga recently as part of her ongoing programmes to visit her constituency.

Linda was accompanied by her aides including Head Liaison Officer of Batu Sapi MP Office Kong Nyuk Thou. She was taken on a tour of the Home by Sri Harapan officials to view the facilities and to meet with the residents.

The Batu Sapi MP also spent time chatting with the residents where she also presented goodies to them. Linda also gave 24 plastic chairs for use by residents.

She also met with 80-year-old Chia Park Hu who moved into Sri Harapan through the arrangements of the Batu Sapi MP office. The elderly man was made homeless in the Kampung Pukat fire in October.

Linda is also assisting Chia to reunite with his family in Peninsula Malaysia with the help of the Welfare Department and also media.

Chia came to Sandakan more than 10 years ago where he had been staying alone in a rented room in Jambatan Satu , Kampung Pukat. He used to earn a living by selling hand crafted ornaments at the nearby Tanah Merah Market.

The house where he was renting the room was among the 14 structures gutted during the blaze and Chia lost almost all his belongings except for important documents. POSTED BY FST NEWS
