SHAH ALAM: The Tengku Permaisuri of Selangor, Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin, yesterday launched the Yayasan Insan Istimewa Selangor (YANIS) at the Setia City Convention Centre here.
Her Royal Highness, who is also the royal patron of the foundation, witnessed the handover of a RM1 million contribution to YANIS from the Menteri Besar Selangor Incorporated (MBI Selangor).
Also present were state Women Development and Social Welfare Committee chairman Anfaal Saari, YANIS chief executive officer Kamarul Hisham Yeop Hashim and MBI Selangor group chief executive officer Datuk Saipolyazan M Yusop.
