KUCHING: A total of RM8,000 was donated by Bintulu Port Holdings Bhd (BPHB) to 16 boat operators affected by the organisation of the Sarawak Regatta 2024.
This shows the company's commitment and concern for the local community, especially during the programme.
According to BPHB in a statement, boat operators are not only a popular transport option, but also a major tourist attraction on the Kuching Riverbank.
Therefore, the implementation of this event has indeed had a negative impact on the operations of ferry operators.
Meanwhile, the donation handover ceremony was held at the BPHB Corporate Box on the Kuching Riverbank on Friday.
The donation was presented by BPHB Group Chief Executive Officer, Ruslan Abdul Ghani, while witnessed by members of the Board of Directors and others.
