SSB Sibu appeals for public support to cover monthly operational cost
SSB Sibu Branch in urgent need of funds to support registered beneficiaries and cover operational costs of the care centre. SIBU (June 13): The Sarawak Society for the Blind (SSB) Sibu Branch is appealing for continued public support as it faces a monthly operational need of approximately RM13,000. The branch's vice-chairperson Datin Sri Judy Lau said the funds are essential to cover living allowances for its registered blind members and maintain the daily operations of its care centre. According to her, each registered blind individual currently receives a monthly living allowance of RM100 to help cover basic daily necessities. 'At present, there are about 80 registered recipients from the central region of Sarawak. At one point, the number had exceeded 100 individuals,' she told a press conference following a management meeting with the association on Thursday. The SSB care centre, which is operated by the branch, currently employs three full-time staff and houses one full-time resident. In the past, the centre also provided massage therapy training for the visually impaired. 'Today, many of them have become independent and are able to work on their own. 'Nevertheless, we continue to provide monthly living allowances,' Lau noted. She added that when the centre receives donated items such as rice or other essentials, these are distributed to eligible recipients. 'Every month, recipients will come to the centre to collect their allowances and any available aid,' she explained. Lau highlighted that anyone certified as blind by the Social Welfare Department (JKM) is eligible to register as a member of the society and receive the benefits provided. The Sarawak Society for the Blind (SSB) Sibu Division Branch will hold its 47th annual Open Day cum charity sale on October 12, from 7am to 12 noon, at the Sibu Blind Centre. According to organising committee chairperson Datin Sri Judy Lau, the fundraising target for this year remains at RM150,000 – the same as last year's benchmark. 'We hope the event will receive strong support and participation from the public, just as it has in previous years, so we can achieve our fundraising goal,' she said at a press conference, following a preparatory meeting on Thursday. Last year's event exceeded expectations by raising RM180,000, surpassing the original target, she revealed. Lau also expressed her gratitude to donors and supporters who have consistently contributed to the association's charitable efforts. This year's event will feature around 30 stalls, with the primary focus on food sales. In addition, a variety of items including daily necessities, ink paintings, decorative plants, and other goods will be available for purchase. To boost engagement, the organising committee is introducing two awards – 'Best Decorated Stall' and 'Top Fundraising Unit'. 'At the moment, charity sale tickets are being printed and will be distributed to confirmed participants and made available to the public soon,' Lau noted. Those interested in purchasing charity sale tickets may contact SSB Sibu Branch treasurer Lang Jai Lee on 016-8866886. operational cost public support Sarawak Society for the Blind Sibu SSB
