He said the cars were out of 50 provided by the company for temporary use of victims in the fire, with the remaining 25 to be handed over as early as April 7.

00:00You're welcome, you're welcome.
00:30I would like to thank Ceri for fulfilling her promise.
00:33And not only that, she also gave the car owners $100,000.
00:41At that time, we also received a commitment from Kasem for 50 cars.
00:47Karo for 30 cars.
00:49Gokar for 20 cars.
00:51And Eon, or DRB, for 62 cars.
00:56And as of today, as our responsibility,
01:00YB Eng Zeehan will take care of the car, DRT, and bus loans here.
01:06We have a request of about 112 people.
01:10There are 112 individuals, until this morning,
01:14who requested to make a car loan.
01:17And the offers that we have now, I think there are more than 200.
01:23Overall, from the cars.
01:25And today, we are starting to deliver to the recipients and helpers.
01:29Today, also, as a sign of concern from Ceri,
01:35they have donated RM50,000 to the management of Masjid Putrahat.
01:41Because this mosque is forced to bear a high utility bill,
01:46as a result of this area being made as a PPS,
01:50or temporary residence center for the victims of the fire.
01:57And I asked the cost earlier, I think with this RM50,000,
02:02at the very least, I think it will cover.
02:04If not fully covered, it will cover a large part
02:07of the utility costs that are forced to be borne by the mosque management.
