KOTA KINABALU : In response to the recent devastating floods that have impacted numerous families in Penampang, Layang-Layang Aerospace Sdn Bhd has taken a proactive approach to alleviate the burdens of the affected victims.

Despite the challenges posed by adverse weather conditions, Layang-Layang Aerospace remains resolute in its mission to assist flood victims and provide much-needed relief.

The successful distribution of relief goods was evident as major roads in the affected areas became passable by Tuesday noon.

Residents, including school teachers and children from SK St Paul in Kg Kolopis, were among the first to receive the essential items as the helicopter landed in the school’s open space.

The presence of photojournalist CV Chong and Daily Express added to the significance of the relief efforts, capturing the heartwarming moments of solidarity and support.

The relief goods, ranging from mineral water and baby formula to clothing and diapers, symbolize the collective efforts of the community to stand together in times of adversity. Johan reiterated that the flood relief mission exemplifies Layang-Layang Aerospace’s dedication to serving the community, especially during calamities and emergencies.
