Today DAP Sri Aman received a visit from 11 year old Wan Hamizan bin Wan Jamali & his mother Puan Sharifah Habsah Bt Wan Otheman who is a single mother.
The mother claimed to have exhausted all avenues by requesting for help from the Welfare Department as they were both rejected by the officers. Having exhausted all options, both of them paid a visit to Sdr Leon Jimat Donald hoping that the DAP is able to highlight their case.
It was informed that Wan Hamizan's OKU monthly financial aid from the State Welfare Department has been stopped & declined from May until today. The monthly cash aid is around RM100 per month. His mother's request for a single mother aid from the Welfare Department has also been declined by the Department.
'I will write to the Welfare Department in Sri Aman to request that they reconsider the request and let the two son & mother have their aid given to them. I will also write to the Welfare Minister Datuk Hajjah Fatimah Abdullah urging her to help them and we will also seek the help of Baitulmal Sarawak, ' said Leon Jimat Donald, Vice Chairman DAP Sarawak.

Today an excited Puan Sharifah has called DAP Sri Aman to say that she has been contacted by the Welfare Department about the reinstatement of aid to her OKU son. And she also said that she will also be financially aided by Baitulmal as she was a single mother. We are very happy for her and pray for their well being.
