JOHORE BAHRU — In a statement released on 10 May 2023, Bishop Bernard Paul, the President of Caritas Malaysia (CM) announced the appointment of Fr Fabian Dicom as the National Office Director to spearhead Caritas Malaysia and the social mission agenda as envisaged by the nine Malaysian archbishops and bishops.
He will be accountable to the Bishop President and is a member of the CM Board. He will serve CM full time, for a 5-year term as the Bishop President’s delegate.
He takes over from Eta Ting, who had managed CM in a part-time capacity as Executive Secretary, filling the gap left by Charles Bertille.
Caritas Malaysia recorded its thanks and appreciation to Eta Ting and thanked Bishop Sebastian Francis of Penang for making Fr Fabian available to the Malaysian Church, and for a greater good.
Bishop Bernard Paul also appealed to the Catholics of Malaysia, “to be the ‘Good Samaritan’ wherever you are, and wherever you are planted. Work with Caritas Malaysia to ‘hear the cry of the poor and the earth’.”
