PM'S WIFE PRAISES CARING MALAYSIANS

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- The wife of the prime minister, Rosmah
Mansor has praised Malaysians for their concern over the well-being of security
forces members.

She said this was clearly demonstrated during Ramadan and Aidilfitri by
individuals, corporate figures, companies and institutions by making donations
for gifts to security forces members through the Wives of Ministers and Deputy
Ministers Welfare Organisation (Bakti).

The contributions leave an indelible mark on security forces members who
have to be on duty and away from their families during Aidilfitri, she said when
handing over 15,000 boxes of food to the armed forces at the Defence Ministry
here Friday.

Rosmah, who is also Bakti president, said she was happy that Bakti members
of all races packed the food for the soldiers.

She also hoped the wives of security forces members, whose husbands had to
be on duty during the festival, would not be disheartened and would take it in
their stride.
