I thank everyone present here today for taking part in the UTAR Hospital Charity Golf Tournament. The construction of UTAR Hospital has commenced and it is scheduled to complete soon; it will soon be ready for its operation. I feel blessed because we will be able to help people who are in need when the Hospital is ready.”
