 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...

Walking into PJ Eco Recycling Plaza recently felt like stumbling upon a hidden spot. After a brief glance at its Facebook page, I noticed that most posts featured visitors from corporates, schools, and NGOs. The page mentioned, it is a government building and a one-stop learning centre. I began to wonder if individuals like myself could also come and donate recyclable items commonly used at home. Intrigued, my friend and I decided to visit on a Sunday, not expecting much but hoping to see what types of recycling bins were available so we could return another time to drop off our recyclables. Upon entering, there are racks of preloved items such as toys, clothes, and kitchenware, all being sold at incredibly low prices. My friend couldn't resist and ended up purchasing a cubic toy for just RM1 and a domino board game for RM2. Curious, we began to explore, discovering that the public could freely access the exhibitions or sections within the building. They even have a second floor. W...

 In rural areas, the women wear many hats for a household chores such as cooking, washing, farming or harvesting. Their lives already difficult as it is to secure clean water and food for daily consumption.  Hence, climate change hit them harder as they depend on natural resources to provide for their families, albeit horrendous living.  Flood or drought kills their source of livelihood, both food for consume or source of income. To restart, they need money and to regrow their crops, need time.  While gearing up again from post natural disaster, the impact is harder on women to work perhaps double the effort to supply for their families. The impact of climate change on the indigenous women health and economy are paramount. Clean water, sustenance from small agriculture or forest nearby and rearing livestock are their main sources to continue cycle of lives. These are essential to them. Their cries are not amplified enough. With limited access to information, their aw...

 I made these posters about mental health in 2 different vibes.                                                                Mental health (Poster 1) The idea behind the poster is to give it a positive vibe so that those who see it are inspired to live a healthier lifestyle.  Hence, the vibrant colours and the images of hobbies and feeling relax.                                                                 Mental health (Poster 2) The concept of the poster is to tell them at first glance, "We feel you, we feel the same, and we want to get well too." Hence the ill teddy bear and still hopeful to get ...

From the sound of waterfall, To the creaking of bugs, There lie a person, in a hammock.  With hands behind the head, legs crossed. Unwind, without care in the world. How calming the decibels of nature, In the ears of a traveller, Away from high pitched tones, Hazards of much pollutions.  No matter how luxurious you are, Human always come back to nature. To find peace and serene, To unwire the hectic, busy life, To reset and reboot. We return to natural beauty, Presenting before our eyes as nature gratis. Preserve and conserve the earth, we shall, For generations to come. #poem #climatechange #naturelovers

Baru-baru ini seorang remaja perempuan di Amerika Syarikat telah dapat diselamatkan kerana menggunakan isyarat tangan yang viral di Tik Tok. Dia berada di dalam sebuah kenderaan dan seorang pemandu lain terlihatnya.  Remaja itu melakukan isyarat pertolongan dengan pergerakan tangannya. Mujur pemandu itu  memahami isyarat tangan itu. Lalu pemandu itu menelefon 911. Apakah maksud isyarat tangan itu? Ia adalah isyarat pertolongan bagi mangsa keganasan rumah tangga atau domestic violence . Kempen ini telah diperkenalkan oleh Canadian Women’s Foundation berikutan peningkatan keganasan domestik akibat lockdown yang berpanjangan ketika awal-awal pandemik Covid-19 berlaku. Isyarat tangan itu sangat mudah bagi mangsa kerana tidak perlu menggunakan kata-kata tetapi hanya melakukan isyarat tangan ringkas.  Caranya ialah menghalakan tapak tangan ke kamera, kemudian menggenggam ibu jari di dalam tapak tangan anda.                    ...

Teknologi selalu berubah untuk menjadikan kehidupan lebih baik. Teknologi yang saya tertarik ialah teknologi 3D printing. Hanya dengan mencetak reka bentuk model daripada komputer, mampu menghasilkan pelbagai ciptaan. Macam kita print dokumen, simulasi yang sama dengan software design, 3D printer mencetak 3 dimensi objek.   Sudah pasti boleh menjana keuntungan besar untuk bisnes, sama ada mengurangkan kos yang optimum atau menghasilkan objek yang dahulunya mengambil masa yang sangat lama dengan cara konvensional.   Pertama kali melihat teknologi hebat 3D printing ini, saya terfikir apakah sumbangan yang boleh diberikan dengan pertolongan 3D printing dari segi sosial dan kemasyarakatan. Saya membuat research apakah sudah ada sumbangan teknologi ini dalam konteks CSR atau pun social enterprise di Malaysia. Saya dapati ada dua berita mengenainya iaitu prototaip tangan palsu dan mask pelindung muka. Untuk kisah protestik tangan palsu, ia berita gembira untuk OKU seperti adik...

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.
