THE Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) and the Kuala Lumpur Dancers Association (KLDA) presented a donation of RM60,000 to the Chinese ambassador Cheng Yonghua recently.

The donation, raised from the Dance for Hope charity dinner and dance held last month at Wisma OCM, would be channelled to victims of the Sichuan earthquake.

Fusion Excel International Sdn Bhd, Pretty Petals Mah Yuen Ying Charity Fund and an anonymous donor contributed RM10,000 each.

“The victims’ suffering is still remembered and aid should not be stopped even though the disaster happened months ago,” KLDA president C.C. Lai said.
