In a statement made after the matches, Mahdia Movements Family owner Rajkumar Singh said, “It is basically a PPP/C fundraiser, held in Moruca to bring out the youths to be part of the activities. There were other sports as well as cricket. Movements Family just played a role in donating $60,000 to the male and female winners of the football, and as well a role of $30,000 each in the cricket match.
Behind everything, we are basically with the Government and supporting the Government, and that would be Movements Family.”
