The balance of the cash donated by well-wishers, after deducting the costs of the function, RM5880, will be distributed equally among the children’s homes. As this sum was insufficient to meet the immediate needs of the homes, the directors of Symphony Suites topped up the amount to RM16000. VIP guest, popular “Kampung Boy” cartoonist, then contributed RM1000 to the kitty, while Ipoh Mayor Dato’ Roshidi pledged RM3,000, to round up the total to RM20,000.
