Urgers the winners to donate
Uncle Kentang proposed that each of the three winners contribute RM300,000, which is the cost of a new ambulance.
Alternatively, a second-hand ambulance costs RM220,000.
He stressed the significance of this request, pointing out that many elderly Malaysians suffering from severe illnesses, such as strokes and cancer, rely heavily on ambulances for follow-up hospital visits.
I hope the three winners will read this message and lend their support.
Many of these patients are bedridden and come from underprivileged backgrounds.
Without an ambulance, their chances of receiving medical care are slim,” he said.
He also extended an invitation to companies and corporations to join the cause, encouraging them to reach out for sponsorship or donation inquiries.
“We need everyone’s help to bring kindness and relief to the sick and poor,” he added.
Sports Toto, a popular lottery in Malaysia, recently made headlines with its jackpot prizes, which totaled millions of ringgit.
