Central Sulawesi, Indonesia was hit by a cataclysmic 7.5 magnitude earthquake and tsunami on 28th September that has the current official death toll rising to 2,045. Over 82,000 people were displaced in the worst-hit city of Palu, 1,500km northeast of Jakarta. 67,000 homes have also been destroyed or damaged.
In response to the Prime Minister of Malaysia, YAB Tun Dr Mahathir Bin Mohamad's call to ASEAN countries to aid Indonesia as it begins the task of restoration, Astro Malaysia Holdings Berhad (Astro) and Maxis Berhad (Maxi) have partnered up to kickstart the Tabung Bencana Gempa Bumi and Tsunami Sulawesi, a campaign to help raise funds. Astro and Maxis will be making a joint contribution of RM5 million to the Tabung.
The contribution from Astro and Maxis is intended to help in the restoration of Sulawesi, particularly schools and communities.
Members of the public that wish to help out and donate to the fund can visit www.maxis.com.my, www.hotlink.com.my or www.astro.com.my for more information.
