Food Bank Malaysia To Screen Classic Films To Mark National Month

ALOR SETAR, Aug 17 (Bernama) -- The Malaysian Food Bank Organisation (Food Bank Malaysia) will be organising screenings of classic films in an open-air cinema format to enliven the National Month celebrations in this city.  

Its chairman Mohd Azrul Mohd Razak said that through the screening of classic films, the public can reminisce about history while at the same time fostering the spirit of nationalism within society.  

“Various interesting classic films, including those acted by the late National Artiste Tan Sri P. Ramlee, will be screened for the public,” he told Bernama here today.  

He said the screenings will be held every Friday starting Aug 22 at Warong Jalan Day here, from 8 to 11 pm.  

According to him, tickets will be sold from as low as RM5 for adults and children aged six and above, while senior citizens and persons with disabilities (PwD) will be given free entry.  

“Tickets will go on sale tomorrow through Food Bank Malaysia’s social media platforms and are limited to only 30 buyers each week due to the limited seating capacity,” he said.  

Mohd Azrul further said that all proceeds from ticket sales will be fully channelled to Food Bank Malaysia for charitable purposes, and every ticket purchaser will also be served a complimentary set meal and drink, subject to terms and conditions.  

“The programme is also an effort to raise funds to help provide free food to the underprivileged around the state,” he said.  

Mohd Azrul added that for any enquiries and further information, the public can contact the secretariat through the link www.wasap.my/60129960559/wayang.  

Visitors who come dressed in classic style or National Day-themed outfits during the screenings will also stand a chance to be selected as lucky viewers and take home special prizes.
