THE Silver Jubilee Home has served the community for over 80 years.
Founded in 1935, the home has been consistently attending to the needs of the elderly.
Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow commended the home during its annual dinner today.
“Your resourcefulness and efficient financial management enable you to reach out to the needy.
“Charity should be the core value of a healthy society. The state has been contributing RM20,000 annually to the home since the 1980s.
“We hope that the community can also play a role to assist the home. The home’s expenditure is about RM200,000 a month,” he said.
Also present were Chow’s wife Tan Lean Kee, state executive council member Phee Boon Poh, and Batu Uban assemblyman A. Kumaresan.
Three Silver Jubilee Home ward staff were awarded at the dinner for achieving 15 years of excellent service.
