Panggilan Pulau 2005

PULAU PERHENTIAN, May, 2005 : Panggilan Pulau or Island Call, was a community
program targeting more that two thousand villagers of Perhentian Island.

The program was created in the wake of the tsunami tragedy that grieved the whole world in December 2004. The objective was to say thank you to all the villagers who took care of Malaysia’s islands.

Supported by many agencies and corporate friends, it also marked the first involvement of the State of Terengganu in a CoRal Malaysia program.

With funding from the State Government, activities ranged from donations to old folks, drawing with the ‘rakyat’ (people), mural for the one and only school on the island, a football competition, ocean and beach clean up, a ‘khenduri‘ or feast for the villagers and closed with a concert by well known singer, Zainal Abidin, a CoRal Malaysia Ambassador.
