  "account": "Kota Kinabalu: Media Prima Club (MPC) has extended financial support to two Sabah firefighters facing health issues through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) program. The initiative took place during Jelajah Akinabalu 4095: Sinergi Dua Entiti, a joint effort organized by MPC and Agrobank. The first recipient, Dahlan Saharom, 40, suffers from haemothorax, a condition characterized by blood accumulation between the lungs and chest wall. He was among the initial rescue team dispatched during the 2015 Sabah earthquake. The contribution was accepted by Dahlan's wife, Syazwani Haimin, 35, alongside MPC representative Fazli Ahmad. The second recipient, firefighter Abdul Zaid Quddus Abdul Salam, recently recovered from a stroke and also benefited from MPC's CSR program. His younger sister, Sharifah Abdul Salam, received the aid from Berita Harian news editor Nazura Ngah. The expedition comprised 26 MPC participants, comprising journalists from Berita Harian, Harian Metro, New Straits Times, and TV3, along with seven Agrobank staff members. The group embarked on a climb from Timpohon Gate to Panabalan and reached the summit early today. The expedition was further supported by the Sabah Fire and Rescue Department, aiming to challenge the participants physically, boost their endurance, and promote teamwork. This collaboration between MPC and Agrobank Club sought to provide a unique outdoor experience for staff from both organizations.",
