REPORT BY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTOR DR. MOHD FADIL SAMION.

FusionExcel is pleased to sponsor RM 183,000.00 (comprising of Quantum Science products) towards the Mutiara Breast Cancer Society of Selangor & Kuala Lumpur's fund raising Charity Program "Malam Sinar Mutiara".

The Charity Dinner was held at Dewan Puspanitapuri, Presint 10, Putrajaya on 22nd December 2010. About 800 guest, sponsors, VIPs & members of the press attended the event.

The guest of honour for the night was Y. A. Bhg Puan Sri Noorainee bt Abdul Rahman, the wife of Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Y. A. B. Tan Sri Dato' Haji Muhyiddin Yassin.

Mutiara Breast Cancer Society of Selangor & Kuala Lumpur is a non profit organization dedicating its social works for the benefit of breast cancer patients.

At present, breast cancer poses the main threat to women's health, and 30% of all such cases resulted in their infirmly deaths. It is a species of cancer that is most synonymous with women in the age group of 20 and above. In a year, approximately 2700 - 3000 new cases of breast cancer are being diagnosed.

The number of breast cancer sufferers is on rapid rise with more than 3,000 case reported in 2003 alone. To encourage early diagnosis, women should ideally submit to scanning procedures via methods such as Self Examination of Breast & Mammography. Breast Cancer inflicts severe hardship and burden on the sufferers and the people around them, particularly family members.

According to the Cancer Registration Report published for the year 2003, in Malaysia, a ratio of 1:19 women is at risk of contracting breast cancer while a similar report in 2006 stated that 29.9% of all diagnosed cases of cancer among women proved to be breast cancer. False sense of security, particularly due to young age and no history of breast cancer in the family, often contributed to cavalier attitude of women towards the awareness and importance of recognizing the dangers posed by breast cancer.

At the said Charity Dinner, on behalf of FusionExcel International, Mr Patrick Chan (FusionExcel Event Manager) together with Presidential Director Dr. Mohd Fadil Samion presented a mock cheque of RM 183,000.00 towards "Malam Sinar Mutiara" event which was received on behalf by Y. A. Bhg Puan Sri Noorainee bt Abdul Rahman and Puan Norsaflezah Md Saleh (President of Mutiara Breast Cancer Society).
