The academic staff of the
Faculty of Business and Finance (FBF) teamed up recently to provide food for
the elderly and the needy on 26 March 2016.
The charitable move, titled “We serve, treat and
care”, was an initiative to give back to Kampar’s underprivileged community
by providing them food for the day. It was a concerted effort wherein the
FBF academics rolled up their sleeves in the planning and the execution of
the initiative, while some made contributions via donations and sponsorships
of food items.
200 packets of food were prepared by FBF Dean
Prof Dr Choong Chee Keong, Deputy Dean for R&D and Postgraduate Programme Dr
Mahmud Bin Hj Abdul Wahab, Head of Department of Finance Lim Chong Heng,
Head of Department of Business Choong Yuen Onn, and fellow lecturers Kuah
Yoke Chin, Wei Chooi Yi, Chan Ling Meng, Chan Pui Yee, and William Choo Keng
Soo. Also present to lend a hand was Faculty of Information and
Communication Technology lecturer Ooi Joo On and Communications and
Networking student Leon James Gautier.
“It’s heartening to see our fellow colleagues
volunteering and preparing the many packets of food. A big thank you also to
Charity Chapel, Kampar for allowing us to use their venue for the food
packing,” commented Prof Choong, the organising chairperson who also added
that the project expenditure was entirely funded by fellow FBF colleagues.
The food distribution to the elderly and those in
need took place at Jalan Ampang adjacent to the Kampar old town food court.
