The event, which was held in a field in front of the association's premises, had about 100 participants.

Perkis chairman Tan Cheng Liang, who is also the Barisan Nasional coordinator for Jawi, said it was the 12th time the association had organised its Family Day celebration.
She said the small affair meant a great deal to the children and their families.
"An event like this will draw positive attention on this special group of children, lifting their spirits and giving them the motivation to face the wider world outside," said Tan, who also presented medals to winners of the telematch.
