SAFETY RIDE
Kg Melayu Majidee is a Malay village located in the city of Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia. Its population is around 30,000 people. The huge population come from different age groups consisting of children (0-14 years), youth (15-24 years), adults (25-64 years), and seniors (65 years and above). The North-South Expressway's southern exit point in Johor Bahru Interchange connects Kampung Melayu Majidee from the direction of Ulu Tiram. Kg. Melayu Majidee is flanked by major roads which link to the city. Economically, it is surrounded by fast-paced developments for Johor Bahru. Kampung Melayu Majidee is enjoying the state capital's resources for humanitarian developments and township infrastructures.As a result of fast development and huge population increment, many road accidents occur throughout the years. On 18 February 2017, there were 8 teenagers dead due to the road accident during cycling at Johor Bahru. It was informed that the police picked about 20 modified bicycles and wrecked bicycles from the scene of the accident. From these accidents, it was found that many people do not pay enough attention to the safety awareness on the road. Rules and regulations, safety equipment and attitudes are important criteria for safety awareness.This project aims to help children in primary and secondary schools to have safety awareness on the road. It is important that they can take safety measurements when they are on the road to reduce the possibilities of road accidents in the future. It is hoped that this community project will spread to all districts in Johor and then Malaysia later.

SEED TO A BETTER FUTURE
We choose students from primary school in Kg Sg Balang Darat, Muar,Johor for this project because 65% of the students in this school are from low income family. Children in this area tend to follow their father’s footsteps by doing menial work in the palm oil plantation after finishing school.  They lack the exposure on possible job opportunities available in the market place.  Moreover, this area is infested with drug addicts.  Research has shown that children who grew up in disadvantaged neighborhoods fare worse across multiple measures of well-being than do children reared in neighborhoods with richer and safer environment.  Thus, to overcome the disadvantages faced by students from Kg Sg Balang Darat, Muar,Johor, this project aims to expose them to a fun, safe and interactive edutainment activities where children can experience the world of adults in KidZania, Kuala Lumpur. They will also be guided on enhancing their soft skills during group activities with our team. In the last week, they will listen to aspiring life journey of Mr. Mohd Sukur Ibrahim, a person with disability, who was granted the OKU Excellent Entrepreneur Award 2016.  Despite being certified as the shortest man in Malaysia by Malaysian Book of Records, Mr. Mohd Sukur successfully overcome all the challenges life has to offer.  The children who are able-bodied can learn so much from the talk. In short, this program is expected to cultivate strong desire and determination, and foster self-belief in the students to achieve greater height in their future.

Soyai Malaysia- Soymilk SelfSustainability Proje
What is SoyAi?SoyAi Malaysia is a social entrepreneurship project of selling soy milk with the aim of helping the Myanmar refugees in Malaysia.How are we helping?In order to help out Myanmar refugees found commonly around the area of Sunway Mentari, we have decided to start up a small in house business for them whereby they are able to have their own small production line on site in their learning centre. We address their needs to sustain on their own feet independently. This is because we would like them to be able to survive without relying heavily on the help of the public as they have been constantly depending on the funds from the public.Through this project, Myanmar refugees will also obtain the chance to gain some business and entrepreneurial skills. This project is the perfect platform for them to experience and widen their knowledge about how businesses are being conducted which are life-long survival skills.The caretakers of the centre will also be taught on simple financial recording for business purposes. Through this hands-on method and with our burning desire and passion in tackling the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we hope more Myanmar refugees would be able to receive equal opportunities to receive proper education and hence, increasing the job employment rate of refugees in Malaysia.How do we ensure that this project will work?This project will be closely collaborated with the SoyAi Myanmar. SoyAi Myanmar team has more than 3 years experiences in this field and they manage to break into markets by having their soymilk sold at major shopping complexes and the international hotels in Yangon, Myanmar. Their clients include selected outlets of the convenience store, Park Royal Hotel, Yangon Bakehouse, Tutti Lethwei Gym, Go Green Organic Food Shop and the rest are private deliveries for offices and homes. Some offices order up to 100 bottles per week. Their current sales per week are about 1400 bottles of soy milk.Besides, we have also contacted a local soymilk seller to provide guidance to SoyAi Malaysia team.We will also have a back-up legal team for this project in the event of disruption as refugees have no legal status in Malaysia.
