RM1 million each were donated by the companies Ewein Bhd and Magni-Tech Industries.
Meanwhile, Tan Kok Ping, the executive chairperson of the Mani-Tech Industries, contributed another RM1 million from his own pocket.
The cheques were handed over to the Lim Guan Eng today, in the presence of new Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow, Malaysiakini reported.
