The Minister expressed her gratitude for the beautiful gift and said it would be one of the cherished mementos of her ministry. Although she was leaving for Sarawak shortly and had a camera crew in her office ready to do a project before she left, Minister Rohani took the time to personally greet each of the women. Carol Ng Fooi Chin, Peggy Wong Sum Wah, Josie Chung Nyuk Fuan, as well as the two women who designed the quilt, Jennifer G. Natividad, and Leonardo G. Natividad were thrilled to present their gift.
Minister Rohani thanked the ladies for their efforts and said "together we women in Malaysia can make this a better place for those without homes and love of a family to surround them."
