This time around, SALAM's mission is to help build mosques, suraus and schools for poor communities in the country.
SALAM board of trustees member, Datuk Ahmad A. Talib said Kedah veteran of Malaysian Association of Youth Clubs (MAYC) would also join the mission.
"We will go to three villages and eight venues there which need help in building mosques, suraus and schools because the existing ones do not even have basic facilities.
"The expenditure for construction is expected to exceed RM60,000 based on our experience there last year. This time we will continue any unfinished work," he told reporters at a briefing session at the foundation's building, here today.
