“We also celebrated a retired headmistress and a health expert who has done much to assist and participate in programmes organised by Sentosa all this while.
“To date WOW Sentosa has also assisted me in providing aid to over 500 needy persons since the Covid-19 pandemic began,” he told SelangorKini.
Dr Gunaraj was speaking at the World Women’s Day WOW Sentosa held at the Best Western iCity Hotel in Shah Alam yesterday.
Also in attendance was Bukit Melawati state assemblyman Juwairiya Zulkifli, who commended the initiative implemented by the Sentosa state constituency for actively involving women in communal and political activities.
“May this effort continue and become an example for other women, we do not need to fear in going forward but instead prove that we can do so as well.
“I encourage and call upon women to participate more actively in communal and political activities…we need to prove women can also lead as men do and in line with the theme for International Women’s Day this year, Gender Equality Today For A Sustainable Tomorrow,” she said.
