Rosmah to receive social responsibility award from Ankara

(Bernama) – Ankara -The City of Ankara will Tuesday confer on Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, wife of Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, Turkey’s prestigious ‘Award of Social Responsibility’ for her social work.

Ankara Mayor Melih Gokcheh said Rosmah’s continuous and active participation in social activities was admired by the Greater Ankara Municipality.

“Her presence in extending a helping hand, as well as trying to put a smile on those encountering social, economic, environmental and health problems, was not only playing a great importance in establishing social balance but also producing social benefits,” he said in a statement Saturday.

Gokchek said, “this has become the source of inspiration for our work” which, besides fulfilling its obligations on infrastructure and superstructure ministration, also rendered social services devotedly to every segment of society, especially women, children and juveniles, disabled and the elders.

He said the award, to be conferred in conjunction with International Women’s Day celebrations in Ankara from March 4 to 6, would be given to Rosmah earlier since she would be accompanying her husband on an official visit to Turkey from Monday. — Bernama
