KUNAK: Some 100 boys participated in the Sunathon Perdana Program (circumcision) held at Kunak Hospital, organised by the Wanita Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) and the hospital.
Kunak Assemblywoman Datuk Norazlinah Arif said the mass circumcision involved the children of Asnaf, especially those cared for by single mothers.
The programme is free of charge to help the underprivileged.
“The main aim of the Sunathon Programme is to assist parents and single mothers who couldn’t afford to bring their children for circumcision purposes,” she said.
