IPOH - Driven by a sincere and noble desire to support those facing financial hardship - especially students struggling with dwindling daily budgets toward the end of the month - a non-governmental organisation (NGO) known as the Kinta Kindheartedness Club has introduced a heartwarming free food initiative titled "Tak Yah Bayor!!! Ambik Je."

The programme’s advisor and director, Azlan Muhammad Shukri, shared that while the club has been running similar outreach efforts since 2015, their focus was previously limited to orphans and the homeless.

This year, however, they have expanded their reach to include the general public in underprivileged areas and locations with high student populations.

"Anyone who feels hungry or in need can simply come and take free food and drinks. It doesn't matter who you are; there's no registration and no strings attached," Azlan explained during the programme's debut in Meru yesterday.

With a mission to ignite the spirit of charity toward vulnerable groups, the association plans to hold these events every two weeks or once a month, moving between different locations across various cities and towns. The concept is built around a simple, people-friendly "pop-up stall" that makes the food easily accessible.

Beyond just feeding the hungry, the initiative serves as a direct channel for donors who prefer giving back through cooked meals or basic supplies rather than navigating the complexities of monetary donations.

Azlan said that they only accept ready-to-eat meals, which are immediately distributed. If any food remains at the end of the day, it is donated to local mosques, prayer halls, or orphanages.

The inaugural event proved to be a resounding success, thanks to word-of-mouth on social media, a crowd gathered between 3pm and 5pm, and all 1,000 food packs - including fried noodles, vermicelli, and fried rice - were snapped up within just two hours.

For those looking to contribute food or volunteer their time, the NGO encourages reaching out directly to their representatives or contact him at 016 284 8773. - BERNAMA
