Berikut adalah keratan akhbar The Sun bertarikh 29 September 2008. Saya simpan keratan tersebut sebelum Hari Raya yang lalu dan berkeinginan untuk post di sini tapi masih berbelah bahagi samada perlu atau tidak di’post’kan.
Tuan/ puan bacalah sendiri kandungan dia kerana amat menyentuh perasaan. Adakah kita boleh menerima sedekah daripada hasil perjudian...??? Takut nanti akan jadi darah daging (Naudzubillah). Adakah sumbangan dari Sports Toto dikira sedekah jariah, zakat atau sumbangan biasa sahaja.
Tidakkah pihak berkuasa di rumah anak yatim (selalunya ustaz) tidak menyiasat sumber sumbangan. Mungkin ustaz tersebut merasakan yang company Sports Toto tersebut hanya terlibat dalam bidang sukan.
Saya tak mahu ia akan menjadi trend dan maka selepas ini ada pula syarikat seperti Carlsberg, Anchor atau Beer yang membuat sumbangan ke rumah anak yatim atau orang tuan.
Tahun lepas sudah tersebar gambar di utara tanah air orang-orang tua beratur untuk menerima sumbangan raya daripada Magnum 4E.
The Sun (29/9/2008)
[SPORTS TOTO Malaysia brought early festive joy to about 200 underprivileged children at two events held in conjunction with Hari Raya celebrations. In the first on Sept 19, company staff led by Sports Toto Malaysia general manager (Sales & Operations) Nerine Tan, visited about 100 patients Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre's paediatric ward.
Tan handed out duit raya and gift packs to the patients, who were delighted with their Russ flush toys, Faber Castell stationery sets and colouring books.
"It has been Sports Toto Malaysia's annual tradition to bring festive cheer to the less fortunate in our efforts to uphold and maintain the spirit of caring and sharing, while we celebrate our diverse cultural activities," Tan
said.
"It is certainly part of the company's philosophy to give something back to .
society."
The company also hosted a breaking of fast at Kelab Darul Ehsan for about 100 orphans of pertubuhan penyayang Raudhah in Gombak, Kuala Lumpur on Thursday. The children were welcomed by company staff and Sports Toto deputy general manager (Administration and security) LeeSiew Chye. They were treated to a sumptuous dinner and presented with duit raya and Hari Raya goodies.
A dance troupe performed traditional Inang dan Zapin dances to keep the children entertained, and as a gesture of appreciation, the children sang for the company staff.]
Tak cool langsung...
