THE Love and Care project by NV Multi Corporation Bhd will donate RM2mil worth of funeral services and products to benefit the poor.
“Hopefully with this plan, the poor can rest in peace in a dignified manner and their surviving family members and friends can have the opportunity to pay their respects to them here,” NV Multi Corporation Bhd group managing director Datuk David Kong said.
Some RM1mil worth of caskets will be donated for those in the Klang Valley and the remaining RM1mil comprises payments for funeral services, with a total of 3,000 urn niches available.
The plan is only applicable to citizens and non-Muslims in Malaysia with a total family income of not more than RM1,200 per month.

Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Senator Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun, who was present to launch the project, lauded the effort.
“In Chinese culture, both birth and death are important and this campaign can help the surviving friends and family,” she said.
