Caritas Malaysia making inroads with local government
Keenly aware that collaboration and mutual support are imperative in humanitarian-type works, the newly appointed Executive Secretary of Caritas Malaysia has lost no time in promoting Caritas and its works to our local government.
Eta Ting, who took on the role of executive secretary recently, made an official courtesy visit to the Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Yang Berhormat Dato Sri Tiong King Sing, at his office on March 6.
During the meeting, Eta explained to the minister that “Caritas Malaysia (CM) is a Catholic humanitarian organisation on a worldwide mission to assist the poor and disaster victims, like those afflicted by flood in our country.”
Caritas Internationalis, based in Rome, has seven regional secretariat offices. CM is one of the 25 member organisations of Caritas Asia Regional Secretariat.
YB Dato Sri Tiong was impressed that Caritas is widely established in 162 countries and also has a mission to be a peace builder all out to build a community of love far and near.
The minister has assured support and looks forward to assisting CM in any upcoming conferences to be held in Malaysia with the ministry’s resources and to welcome any international members of Caritas visiting our uniquely rich, hospitable, multiethnic country.
