Fire dampens Raya cheer

For Ustaz Hamzah Busu, principal and founder of Rumah Amal Kasih Bistari (RAKB) community home, taking care of those less fortunate than himself is a lifelong calling.

His lifelong mission culminating in the four RABK centres he now manage together with his wife. All told, they now shelter 70 individuals, orphans, single mothers and OKUs.

Those under his care are provided not only with a roof over their heads and food on their plates, but also education and skills training to give them the means to be independent and self-sustaining once they leave the centres.

However, recently tragedy struck when the top floor of the three-story RABK centre, located in Kampung Melayu Subang Shah Alam was destroyed in a fire three weeks before Ramadhan which. The fire causing RM50,000 in damages.

Looking at the matter as simply another challenge, Hamzah said that he will face the situation and do his best to provide for his charges, especially with Raya Haji just a round the corner.

However, he hoped that the public and the authorities can assist in bringing the cheer of Raya to the residents of Ruman Amal Kasih Bistari.
