CAP president Mohideen Abdul Kader, who was elected to the position after Mohamed Idris passed away in May last year, said they have funds to last the organisation for only another two to three years if they do not get more funding soon. For the first time in decades, CAP now has a donation box placed prominently at the reception desk in its office at Kennedy Road here.
Other than those grants, CAP used to sell hundreds of its consumer-related booklets and books on topics such as health, environment and consumer rights to finance its work that used to earn it a tidy sum.
