KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Hajiji Haji Noor presented Raya contributions to more than 70 underprivileged people during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri open house hosted by the State Government at the Sabah International Convention Centre (SICC) here today. The recipients included those from the old folk’s homes, Society for the Blind, Society for the Deaf, welfare homes and orphanages. Later, the Chief Minister also accompanied Head of State Tun Juhar Mahiruddin and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to meet people from all walks of life at the open house.

Speculations have been rife in the past few days about the Chief Minister’s health and
he thanked all for their concern and prayers.

The Chief Minister who has been experiencing pain but is otherwise in good health is
scheduled to check into the hospital for a minor procedure to remove gallstones
next week. -pr/BNN
