On March 6, the Group donates materials worth over HK$ 6 million. Shi Shanbo, Deputy General Manager of the Group, visits Sheung Shun Community in Kwun Tong finding out the living conditions of Fu Pik-chun, an employee of the Group and also Kwun Tong District Councillor, and handing over face masks, Lianhua Qingwen capsules and rapid testing kits to the community.
