YONG PENG: Heavy rain last Sunday morning did not stop 300 youths from joining Ayer Hitam MP Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong to cycle around Yong Peng to visit the less fortunate members of society.
The five km bicycle event started from SJK ( C ) Yong Peng 1 to Dewa Chee Tiong Tang Yong Peng temple in Jalan Lee Ee Goh where Dr Wee presented a cash donation for the temple’s upgrading works and two lion dance costumes to its lion dance troupe.
The cyclists, then made their way to Taman Selatan where Dr Wee presented a new wheelchair to a 19-year-old disabled boy Tan Ka Lok and visited the newly built SJK ( C ) Yong Peng 2 nearby.
The bicycle convoy also stopped over at a 27-year-old heartpatient Tiong Koon Keng’s house and the Kiwanis Yong Peng Special Children Centre in Taman Kota.
