| Najib and Chan on stage at the fund-raising dinner for SM Chong Hwa in Kuantan on Saturday |
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak is all praise for the Hong Kong movie superstar for contributing much of his time and money to various charities throughout the years.
He said Chan's appearance at the SM Chong Hwa fund-raising dinner in Kuantan on Saturday night was no exception.
Through the auctioning of various merchandise belonging to the martial arts icon, the proceeds will go towards the construction of the school, he said.
"It was a pleasure to be at Stadium Darul Makmur yesterday night, together with Jackie Chan, a renowned superstar, philanthropist and role model to Chinese people worldwide," Najib said in his latest Facebook post.
He said the government acknowledged the importance of education to the Chinese community and various initiatives were implemented towards ensuring they were not left out in the nation's development.
Yesterday, during a dinner and charity show hosted to raise funds for the construction of the school, Najib announced an additional RM3mil donation from the government, on top of the RM2mil given earlier.
"I hope that with this, we have helped to fulfil the request of the Chinese community," added the prime minister. - Bernama.
