Second phase of disinfection procedure back at the center by leaving them under the sun for at least 5 hrs.

As part of our social responsibility to our members, all our equipment will be sanitized before delivery.

Many thanks to all those who have sacrificed and contributed in one way or another in making this Program possible. It will be great if more veterans can participate as members of the MIG Team to bring it to greater heights.
