MIRI: Hundred and three pints of blood were collected during a blood donation drive at the Bintang Megamall Miri today (Jan 27).
The programme, organized by Sarawak Oil Palms (SOP) Foundation, the philanthropic arm of SOP saw 126 registered donors bleed for a good cause.
After successfully donating their blood, donors were also presented with goodies bag and a bottle of 2kg Merris Lite Pure Vegetable Oil as tokens of appreciation.
Iris Yong, representative of SOP Foundation, underscored the multifaceted impact of the blood donation drive.
She emphasised its dual role in replenishing blood stocks, particularly susceptible to depletion during festive periods and school breaks, and in raising awareness about this pressing issue throughout Sarawak.
“Thank you to the public and SOP staff members for their selfless contributions,” she said.
Yong also extended her appreciation to the Blood Bank of Miri General Hospital, the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (Miri Chapter), and Bintang Megamall Miri for their invaluable collaboration and support.
Meanwhile, the second blood donation drive, also to be organised by SOP Foundation will be held on Sept 7 at Boulevard Shopping Mall, Miri.
