The Johore Bar Committee [JBC] has been approached by Puan Sharmila Hardip Singh and Puan Zainorizah binti Ibrahim, Timbalan Pengarah Pengurusan, Hospital Permai, Johor Bahru [Permai Hospital] for donations.
As we are all aware, our nation’s healthcare is being pushed to its limits, fatiguing both the frontliner medical staff and the support system. Hospital Permai is a designated Covid-19 hospital and has not been spared these consequences.
Puan Sharmila Hardip Singh and Puan Zainorizah binti Ibrahim has reached out to JBC seeking assistance of the State Bar to provide for the needs of the Covid-19 patients as well as the frontliners at Permai Hospital in terms of:-
- Mineral water for the patients [at least 640 of 500ml bottles of water are required daily]
- 3 in 1 beverage
- Boxed drinks
- Biscuits
- Instant food such as instant noodles in cup
- Oranges
- standing thermometer
- hand sanitizer (in bottles with pump)
- Dettol (to sanitise the hospital’s vehicles)
As the hospital cannot receive monetary contributions, JBC will purchase the items required with the donation collected and hand over to the hospital. JBC will account the utilisation of the donation to members in due course.
We are a 2399-strong State Bar, the third largest in the country. With each of us contributing, the State Bar’s aid to Hospital Permai will be a significant one and will go a long way to help alleviate some of the challenges faced by the hospital.
I urge each member to make a donation. Let us do our part, in any which way we can, to support our healthcare teams; they really should not have to ask for help. The fact that Hospital Permai has reached out to us only emphasises the dire need for our help.
Please make those donations by way of Direct Deposit or Online Transfer by 31/05/2021 to:
Account name: JOHORE BAR COMMITTEE
Bank: CIMB Bank Berhad
