Churches give to Tabung Harapan

“The Catholic churches of Penang diocese, together with the five states of our diocese, the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur and the Diocese of Malacca Johore, will be contributing all the June 22-24 collections to the Tabung Harapan to help our Government settle the national debt of this country.

“Let us work together for this brand new Malaysia,” said Bishop Sebastian Francis.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow recorded his appreciation to the church over the announcement by the bishop.

“This gesture is deeply appreciated. We also appreciate your prayer to bring forth change and the birth of a new Malaysia.

“We pray that the new government will listen to the aspirations of the people, come up with good policies that can help Malaysia regain her glory, get rid of corruption and abuse of power and to ensure that we can enjoy the fruits of development here in Malaysia,” he said.
