Q3 LAUNCHES MyKasih ‘Love My Neighbourhood’ Programme Launch, July 2015 - September 2015 REACHES OUT TO 200 FAMILIES IN SARAWAK Enters sixth year of collaboration with MyKasih Foundation GCH Retail Malaysia’s Head of Operations for East Malaysia, Marius Knight (left) presenting the company’s contribution to MyKasih Foundation, represented by Trustee, Siti Khairon (right), witnessed by Sarawak Minister of Welfare, Women and Family Development, YB Datuk Hajah Fatimah Abdullah. GCH Retail Malaysia Sdn Bhd held a special celebration on 25 August 2015 at their Giant Tabuan Jaya outlet in Kuching, Sarawak, to mark the rollout of Giant’s food aid support to families in Sarawak and to commemorate its sixth year of collaboration with MyKasih Foundation. Participating in the rollout and celebration were 100 of the 200 beneficiary families and YB Datuk Hajah Fatimah Abdullah, Minister of Welfare, Women and Family Development in Sarawak. Under the collaboration in Sarawak, Giant would contribute RM 192,000 to the MyKasih ‘Love My Neighbourhood’ food aid programme to support 200 underprivileged families in Kuching, Miri and Sibu, for one year. 12 A publication by MyKasih Foundation Speaking at the event, GCH Retail Malaysia Sdn Bhd’s Head of Operations for East Malaysia, Marius Knight said, “On board with MyKasih Foundation since its inception in 2009, GCH Retail started as a retail partner to the MyKasih ‘Love My Neighbourhood’ food aid programme. At that time, we had only one store, Giant Hypermarket Bandar Kinrara in Selangor, serving only 50 recipient families in that neighbourhood.” “Now, six years later, we have 72 Giant stores serving MyKasih beneficiaries throughout the country,” added Knight. In November 2014, GCH expanded its collaboration with MyKasih through the ‘Love My School’ student bursary programme and contributed RM 800,000 which benefitted close to 1,000 families in 20 schools. “Our support for the MyKasih ‘Love My Neighbourhood’ food aid programme now extends to communities in various locations in East Malaysia,” said Knight. The 200 families from Kuching, Miri and Sibu, identified by MyKasih together with the Sarawak State Government, will be able to use their MyKad to buy daily essentials that include rice, bread, biscuits, flour, beverages, cooking oil, eggs, seasoning, noodles, and canned foods. These families can shop at any of the six Giant stores in Sarawak.

This eye-screening initiative is a joint collaboration between MyKasih Foundation and Dialogue in the Dark Malaysia (DID) to screen for visual impairments and prevent unnecessary blindness in children. DID Founder Stevens Chan, who had lost his vision due to glaucoma, said “Childhood onset visual impairments often go undetected, which affect the students’ ability to read, write or simply concentrate in school. Worse, they are commonly mistaken for a learning disability. As such, we hope to organise more eye-screening activities for MyKasih students and provide those in need with visual aids to help them study better.” The 424 students were screened by DID’s resident optometrist, Lynn Foo, together with a team of trained volunteers - called ‘Sight Guardians’, from MyKasih Foundation, Rotary Club of Lake Gardens, and Rotary Club of Kelana Jaya. In thanking Chan and the Sight Guardians, MyKasih Foundation Chairman and Co-Founder Tan Sri Dr Ngau Boon Keat said, “Together with caring partners from the community - the dedicated team of volunteers from DID and Rotary, we are able to reach out to underprivileged students in the Klang Valley and assess their eye health with the hope that any vision impairments can be detected and corrected early enough so that it will not affect their learning experience. We hope to be able to complete the eye-screening for 700 students in the 17 selected schools by April 2016.” Vision screening completed in MyKasih-supported schools this year (as at 30 September 2015):- 18 Number of students screened.

CLSA Chairman’s Trust brings health awareness to the Jah Hut indigenous community of Kampung Pian. On 9 August 2015, 150 Jah Hut Orang Asli families of Kampung Pian in Kuala Krau, Pahang participated in a health screening programme carried out by the local health and dental clinics at the village community hall. The activity is part of CLSA Chairman’s Trust’s community outreach for the 150 families it currently supports under the MyKasih food aid programme. 12 adults and 36 children braved the dental chair and had their teeth examined by dentists from the Department of Dentistry under the Ministry of Health. CLSA Chairman’s Trust’s Executive Director, Geoffrey Lim said, “Since January 2014, CLSA Chairman’s Trust has been providing monthly food aid to 150 Jah Hut families and schooling necessities for their school-going children. This year we wanted to hold a health screening event to raise awareness about diseases which are silent killers, like diabetes and hypertension.” Enjoying the nutritious UHT chocolate milk sponsored by Dutch Lady once they had submitted their colourful masterpiece. 85 adults had their blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol levels and Body Mass Index (BMI) checked to assess their risks of heart attack and stroke, while 20 women underwent pap smear tests for cervical cancer.

Pictorial posters on dengue and malaria were also put up at booths to inform the community on the diseases’ prevalence and to communicate precautionary measures families could take to ensure that their surrounding environment are not breeding grounds for the diseasebearing mosquitoes. “We hope to help strengthen this community’s resilience towards environmental health impacts through nourishment and awareness,” added Lim. MyKasih Foundation Chairman and Co-Founder, Tan Sri Dr Ngau Boon Keat thanked CLSA Chairman’s Trust for aiding the community for almost two years. “We are so grateful to have a foreign corporate donor from Hong Kong that is sensitive to the plight of the indigenous communities in Malaysia. We hope other organisations will follow in CLSA Chairman’s Trust’s caring footsteps and contribute towards a better living for the underserved,” said Tan Sri Dr Ngau Boon Keat.

The ‘iCerdik’ online programme encourages students to apply what they have learned in the classroom through specially-prepared assessments and revision exercises. The students involved are beneficiaries of the DIALOGsponsored ‘Love My School’ bursary programme at SK Bukit Lanjan. During the introductory session on 18 September, both students and teachers navigated the online modules and familiarised themselves with the computers and netbooks which they had received from corporate donors and the Ministry of Education. “We are grateful to DIALOG and MyKasih for bringing this educational programme to our students. We do see the need for it for our students – not only because it is an interactive method for effective learning, but that it will also allow the students to embrace technology in a fun and easy way,” said Khairul Anuar, Headmaster of SK Bukit Lanjan (Asli). MyKasih Foundation Chairman and Co-Founder, Tan Sri Dr Ngau Boon Keat, who is also the Executive Chairman of DIALOG said, “The younger generation of today need to be tech-savvy as it is the way forward.
