Star Media Group (SMG) Bhd has contributed 1,000 copies of Kuntum magazine to two hospitals as an appreciation to the medical frontliners in their fight against the Covid-19 outbreak.
The magazines are meant for the children of the medical personnel from Hospital Sungai Buloh and Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL).
Kuntum editor Norlia Jaafar said the contribution was part of its corporate social responsibility towards people who had been working tirelessly in maintaining public health.
“We hope the magazines will bring some cheer to their children at home who are unable to attend school.
