Keluarga miskin di bawah ini telah
setahun tiada elektrik di rumah mereka kerana bekalan elektrik telah
dipotong. Anak-anak mereka hanya menggunakan lampu lilin untuk
belajar. Memang banyak kes sebegini sekarang. Untuk menyambung semula
bekalan elektrik ada yang terpaksa membayar tunggakan sehingga
RM2,000 termasuk denda, itu belum tentu dapat membayar bil secara
tetap selepas itu.
Salah satu alternatif yang ada ialah
membekalkan kepada keluarga seperti ini lampu solar pada kos tidak
sampai RM50 seunit. Ianya tidak memerlukan penukaran bateri atau
pengecasan menggunakan bekalan elektrik atau minyak. Sebaliknya hanya
perlukan cahaya matahari.
Pihak kami dalam rangka untuk
membekalkan lampu solar kepada keluarga sebegini samada di bandar
atau luar bandar.
Mereka yang ingin menyertai projek
pembekalan lampu solar ini sila hubungi saya 0122267406

Poor family living in darkness for a
year
8 August 2015
A FAMILY has been living in darkness
for more than a year because they cannot afford to pay the
electricity bill.
The couple’s five school-going
children are forced to do their homework by candlelight.
Guang Ming Daily reported that the
family of seven lives in a low-cost flat in Bukit Panchor, Nibong
Tebal.
The 45-year-old father, Vincent, and
his wife Visarani, 47, have five children aged between seven and 15.
Two study at SMK Tunku Abdul Rahman in Nibong Tebal while the rest
are in SJK (T) Sungai Jawi.
It was reported that Vincent is a
deliveryman who earns between RM500 and RM600 a month.
Their electricity supply was cut off
early last year after they failed to pay the bill.
Since then, they light up two candles
each night in the living room where the children did their school
work. Vincent said he needed to pay RM250 for the rent and about
RM500 for the household expenses.
The family receives RM400 aid from the
Welfare Department each month.
