Social Driven Program During Pandemic

Social driven landscape has been growing in recent years in Malaysia, more so during Covid-19 pandemic. Under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) which consists of 17 pillars, many NGO or non-profit organisation trying to uphold at least one of these pillars in their mission. Right now, we can see the rising of charities providing food aids to the underprivileged recipients that impacted from losing jobs to survive in this challenging time. This is supporting one of the SDG goal, zero hunger.

Food Aid Foundation, The Lost Food Project and Yayasan Food Aid Malaysia among the NGO that supporting the underprivileged beneficiaries via food aids, with essential food items such as rice, cooking oil, eggs, sugar and other essential supplies. They work with various partners, corporate or government agencies with volunteers distributing the donations to the targeted recipients such as poor families, orphanages, old folk homes, soup kitchen and so on.

Another social impact driven that can be seen rising is education category for school children and university students. Their studies and learning are impacted, in which they are no longer can learn at schools or universities in a normal environment. With the direction from Ministry of Education, they are encouraged to learn via digital or online class. Many B40 categories are suffering from online classes because they do not have the luxury to get the access to the internet, which is connectivity and electronic devices, the means to support their studies. Some from poor families need to borrow their parents’ hand phones to follow online classes and it was not convenient if they have siblings needed to share the same device.

Telcos prepare plans to cater B40 communities, so that they can subscribe with affordable packages, in line with the government aspirations to help the students so as not to fall behind from their peers. Not all students can benefit from online teaching. Hence, many campaigns launched to donate laptop or tablet for university students and school children to learn via online studies. These helps are really meaningful for the students to cope with the new learning style. The aids will help reduce the financial burden of the B40 group for their children benefits.

Social driven campaigns help to reduce the financial burden of the underserved communities. By providing some assistance, it helps the beneficiaries to focus on other important things. We can see the positive changes if we look deep enough into their long run future ahead. Access to good food provide them energy to study, to work and to worry less for their families. Access to education, provide them a better path. These young ones are the one who will mould the future of Malaysia. Let them learn in the best possible way to create their own amazing future.

Decathlon giving back to community

 I recently attended a free Zumba class at the Decathlon PJ branch, which is part of their regular weekly activities that include Zumba, yoga, and more. These activities are often offered at a minimal fee, with occasional free classes for the community, perhaps once a month. The atmosphere was lively, with families playing ping pong and children riding small bikes within the venue, adding to the sense of community. This initiative by Decathlon is a fantastic example of how a business can give back to local residents while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. I haven’t seen other sports retailers in Malaysia adopt a similar approach. While Decathlon remains a business, they’ve successfully integrated CSR activities by fostering a sports culture through the free or affordable use of their facilities, like badminton, basketball, and futsal courts in selected branches, including those in Selangor, Johor Bahru, and Penang. Classes like Zumba, Pound, and Yoga/Pilates are also availa...

Volunteer sekolah orang asli

 Pada 18 November yang lalu, saya menjadi sukarelawan di bawah sebuah organisasi bernama Bila Bila Odyssey, yang menganjurkan satu program di SK Bukit Bangkong (A), sebuah sekolah Orang Asli berhampiran Sungai Pelek, dalam kawasan komuniti Mah Meri. Sekolah tersebut mempunyai kurang daripada 120 orang murid dari Tahun 1 hingga Tahun 6. Program yang dijalankan berfokus kepada STEM, dan murid-murid dibahagikan kepada enam kelas.

Saya sendiri sebenarnya turut belajar bersama kanak-kanak ini. Secara ringkas, cara membuat plastisin bermula dengan mencampurkan 10 sudu tepung dan 1 sudu garam, kemudian digaul rata. Dalam bekas lain, air dicampurkan dengan pewarna makanan dan untuk kelas ini kami menggunakan warna merah dan biru. . Air berwarna itu dituangkan sedikit demi sedikit ke dalam campuran tepung tadi, lalu diuli sehingga adunan...

Witty Game : Breakout at NU Sentral

 I recently went to Breakout at NU Sentral and played “The War for Rembrandt” with two friends. The game is recommended for beginners and has a 65% success rate. From the start, we purposely chose an easier game because we wanted a higher chance of winning, especially since the tickets weren’t cheap. Even the staff suggested we pick a simpler room. Before the game began, we were given a short briefing on the dos and don'ts. Only one person was allowed to bring a phone into the room, as we needed to download their app beforehand for in-game hints and assistance. All our belongings were stored in a provided locker. The game lasted about 50 minutes. Our first impression upon entering the first room was “wow”. It really felt like stepping into a different world. It was definitely a mental challenge. We asked for hints twice, yet still we didn’t make it through the final room in time. We really enjoyed it although we failed. Haha! Breakout is a themed real-life escape room venue located...
