At a handover session for Program Bantauan Bencana PETRONAS here today, PETRONAS Senior General Manager of Group Strategic Communications, Datin Anita Azrina Abdul Aziz handed over the contributions to APM Chief Commissioner, Aminurrahim Mohamed. The event was witnessed by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department for Special Functions, Datuk Dr. Abd Latiff Ahmad.
