       Dr Wee, who is also MCA president, said the donation handover ceremony was held on Sunday (Jan 14) at the Pekan Lapis Khalid Mosque grounds in Ayer Hitam.

       “After Asar (evening prayers), Semarang assemblyman Datuk Samsol Bari Jamali, Yong Peng assemblyman Ling Tian Soon and I completed the donation handover ceremony.

       “This cash donation is to enable each mosque to carry out religious and welfare activities in their respective villages,” he said in a Facebook post on Sunday.
