“They only needed to say the word ‘thank you’ to receive the item they need for free,” he said in a statement here on Monday . The stateless children and their families received groceries, essential items, used clothes, old books, toys, pillows as well as cash donations, among others.

It is a very simple but profound observation by a foreigner who has arrived to visit Sabah for only a short time. His question is simple but it has pierced the heart right through.
