CHANGE IS

Gender Equality

It took many years for even the West to grant equality to women. And it did not come easy. In Malaysia we still have a long way to go for women to be granted equal status to men and most merely pay lip service to the issue. Take candidates in the general election as one example. While women represent 50% of the voters, political parties are still reluctant to field more women candidates.

Civilised Politics

Politics in Malaysia is very worrying and Malaysians do not understand that just because you have different opinions and ideology that does not mean you do not need to be civil to one another. Malaysian political campaigns are nothing short of hate campaigns and this is tearing society apart. We need to teach Malaysians that you can differ in views but that does not mean you need to hate.

Feed the hungry

About 800 million people in the world, or one in nine, are suffering from chronic undernourishment. The problem is not that the world is short of food but that surplus food is not moved to places where they need food. This is one of our projects: moving surplus or unwanted food to places that need it. And we shall start with hotels that discard a lot of food and move this food to those who need it.
