PETALING JAYA, May 9 — PKR unveiled party-themed duit raya envelopes for sale at its headquarters here today.

PKR treasurer-general Lee Chean Chung said each pack of five Hari Raya envelopes will sell for RM2, with all proceeds going to the party’s coffers.

“The programme is launched by the party, so it’s a party initiative,” Lee told Malay Mail, adding the exercise was for general fundraising.

PKR communications director Fahmi Fadzil, who was present, pointed out that the party had also introduced similar initiatives for other festivals, such as scrolls for Chinese New Year and halal moon cakes for the Moon Cake Festival.

Lee said the party hoped to sell about 100,000 envelopes during the festive season and interested buyers may place their orders at the PKR headquarters.
