[Report] Charitable Activities Prior to Chinese New Year

It is a common practice among Buddhists in Malaysia to visit welfare homes bearing donations and gifts for people who are less fortunate than us. This year it was no exception. We had two separate visits one to Kuala Kubu New Village and the other to a welfare home in Ulu Yam. They were led by Bro TE Lim and Bro Lam Chook Hong respectively.

The first event was organized by the Welfare Society of Kuala Kubu and was held in a community hall. It attracted 100 underprivileged old folks and mentally and physically challenged people, all having no one to care for them and relying on charity. Same handicapped and bedridden ones unable to make their way to the hall, the Ang Pows and food were delivered to them after the event.Representing S.D.C at the event to distribute the Ang Pows (red packet with money) are Bro TE Lim (our Hon Treasurer, Sis Lai Mee Ling (Asst Hon Treasurer) and Bro HP Lim (Chairperson of Building Fund Committee).





The second event was led by Bro Lam CH (one of our most senior members), Bro Lam's family and that of Mrs Mah's family, visit a welfare home in Ulu Yam Bahru.



 They cooked and shared dinner with the residents and the workers at the home.




 The home was cleaned and well maintained, and all the residents looked healthy and happy.

The generous effort of the members, families and friends of SDC contributed cash, provisions, towels and cooked food (value amounted to RM 5,200) to the Home.



They were delighted and conveyed their heartfelt thanks.


We rejoiced at the good deeds done by all. 

May all be blessed and Have a joyful year ahead.
