KUCHING (Sept 21): The Darul Hana Bridge and Satok Bridge shone brightly in gold on Saturday to mark Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, which is celebrated in September.

The Kuching North City Commission (DBKU) said this initiative was part of the ‘Light It Up Gold’ programme held in collaboration with the Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society (SCCS).

“It aims to raise public awareness on the struggle of children with cancer, and provide moral support to them and their families.

“The golden yellow colour signifies hope, strength, and solidarity for the little warriors who are fighting cancer,” it said in a press statement reported by the Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas).

DBKU said it is always committed to supporting efforts to raise public awareness on health, wellbeing, and solidarity towards those in need.

It added such collaboration showed close cooperation among government agencies, non-governmental organisations, and the public for a good cause.

Present to enliven the programme was DBKU director Ramzi Abdillah; SCCS director Jodie Sim; SCCS honorary advisor Datin Patinggi Puan Sri Datuk Wira Lorna Enan Muloon Chan; DBKU Infrastructure Services Department deputy director Faizal Adenan; and DBKU Community Services Department deputy director Rudzaimeir Malek.
