BINTULU – A welfare initiative led by Puan Dayang Norjihan binti Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri (Dr) Abang Haji Abdul Rahman Zohari brought MAKSAK Wanita Sarawak members to Bintulu Hospital on 22 May 2026.
The visit formed part of the Sarawakku Sayang (SKS) 2026 programme at the divisional level, highlighting the organisation’s commitment to welfare and volunteerism.
Accompanying her were Dato Hajah Baduyah binti Haji Bujang, Chairman of MAKSAK Wanita Sarawak, alongside Exco members from both the state and the Bintulu Division.
Their presence underscored the collective effort to strengthen social well-being and support among civil servants.
The delegation began by visiting the Children’s Ward, where patients and their families received encouragement and moral support.
Puan Dayang Norjihan personally engaged with the young patients, offering words of comfort and solidarity during their treatment.
In conjunction with the upcoming Gawai Day celebrations, MAKSAK Wanita Sarawak distributed cash contributions of RM100 to each child patient.
The funds were channelled through the organisation’s welfare bureau, ensuring that assistance reached those most in need.
The programme also included the presentation of SARA Cares Hampers to Bintulu Hospital representatives.
These hampers, containing daily essentials, were designated for 20 hospital staff members facing financial challenges.
The gesture aimed to ease the burden of living costs while recognising the dedication of healthcare workers.
Further support was extended to two individuals – a civil servant and a government pensioner – both battling chronic illnesses requiring treatment at Sarawak General Hospital.
Each received RM500 under the MAKSAK Cares initiative, reflecting the organisation’s ongoing commitment to aiding those within the public service community who face health-related hardships.
Additionally, the annual MAKSAK Wanita grant of RM5,000 was handed over to the chairman of MAKSAK Wanita Bintulu Division.
This allocation is intended to strengthen divisional-level welfare and social programmes, ensuring that activities continue to benefit civil servants and the wider community.
The welfare visit demonstrated MAKSAK Wanita Sarawak’s dedication to nurturing a culture of care and compassion within the state’s public service.
By combining financial assistance, moral support, and community outreach, the organisation continues to align its efforts with the Sarawak Government’s vision of comprehensive well-being for its people.
Through initiatives such as these, MAKSAK Wanita Sarawak reinforces the values of family spirit, volunteerism, and empathy, ensuring that civil servants and local communities alike feel supported during times of need.
The programme in Bintulu stands as a clear example of how welfare-driven approaches can foster resilience and unity across Sarawak.
