Sibu Bumiputera Economic Welfare Organisation (PERKEB) Chairman, Mohammad Fadzli Jawawi, said the amount distributed exceeded the initial target in light of high demand from the local community.
“Actually, our initial plan was around 300 packs of bubur lambuk.

The programme was implemented through the collaboration of Sahabat Pengerak Madani Sarawak, Akademi Keneraan Malaysia, PERKEB, Mukah Polytechnic General Studies Department, Darul Halim Mosque Management Committee, Bahagia Jaya Teku Residents Association and Mukah Polytechnic Young Friends Secretariat.
