While other celebrities choose the usual items to be donated to the victims of the floods in several parts of the Malaysia, actress Sharifah Shahira stated that it was just as important to be sending undergarments and sanitary pads, which is why she decided to do so recently.
The actress, also known as Shiera, who had bought all the items using the money donated by the public, stated that she has had experience of being a flood victim in the past, and thus she understands and knows what are important for the people experiencing the said calamity."I bought all these underwears because they are needed... You can laugh all you want, but it's necessary!" she said on her Instagram Story.
Aside from undergarments, Shiera also bought other necessities including food and clothes. All of these items will be sent to the flood victims in Pahang.
It is noted that the flood situations in Pahang, Perak, Kelantan and Terengganu, are worsening due to continuous heavy rain; rendering more victims to be moved to the temporary evacuation centres. In Pahang alone, there have been more than 24,000 victims being transferred to 281 of these centres, with the most victims coming from Temerloh and Maran.
The items bought by Shiera will be sent to the victims by the Malaysian Relief Agency (MRA) |
