Tong Sim Senior Citizen’s Care Centre Visit

On the 16th of February 2014, the Meals on Wheels family of Ti-Ratana Penchala Community center visited the Tong Sim Senior Citizen’s Care Centre at Sungei Besi, Kuala Lumpur.


"Mr Cheong Loy , an undertaker running a funeral parlour on the grounds of the Kwong Tong Cemetery in Sungei Besi, has graciously opened up the first floor of his facility to care for senior citizens abandoned by their families at hospitals across the Klang Valley for more than ten years. 

The hospitals provide them with free medical care but the expenses for the centre comes from Mr Cheong Loy himself and from public contributions'. by Zainal Amar

Briefing by Brother Tommy and group photo

As the other members prepared lunch, the rest began to mingle and speak to the residents of the home.

As stories were shared, emotions surfaced.

As emotions ran high, some members took a moment for themselves.

They care for one another as all they have is each other.

Love not just given to fellow human beings but animals as well.

Tong Sim Senior Citizen’s Care Centre sits atop a funeral parlour on the grounds of the Kwong Tong Cemetery. An unfortunate and grim reminder of whats at the end.

MOW Mobile Library – Workbooks for underprivileged children

Children from poor families are always at a disadvantaged as the families are not able to afford to buy workbooks to supplement the school text books.

On Monday, 24th February, Ti-Ratana Meals on Wheels handed over 5 boxes of workbooks for primary school children to the Headmistress and Senior Assistant of SJKC Jinjang Tengah 1.

These books will come in handy for children from Standard 1 to Standard 6, when they are doing their revisions, and to have a better grasp of the lessons taught in the classrooms.

On behalf of the schoolchildren, a BIG THANK YOU to Popular Book Store for their generous donation of these books.

Backgound Info

This is a care centre for the aged whom had been abandoned by their families, totaling 55 dependants of which 15 are women and the rest men. Many of this elderly was admitted to hospitals by their own children, family, or relatives. When they are well enough to be discharged, their next of kin could not be contacted because all information given — names, addresses and contact numbers — were false. They are abandoned with nowhere to go.

Hospitals in the Klang Valley and even beyond have been sending them to this particular home for the aged because they too are at a loss of what to do. Some folks are immobile and in need of nursing care but unfortunately, volunteers who can spare the time, come visit only once or twice a week to help bathe them, give them a hair cut and try to cheer them with their visits.

Mr Cheong Loy who is an undertaker who runs the funeral parlour on the grounds of the Kwong Tong Cemetery in Sungei Besi, has opened the first floor of his shop to house these “guests”, he keeps accepting more people on the kindness and generosity of his heart. The centre has been around for more than 10+ years. The hospitals provide them with free medical care but the expenses for the centre comes from Mr Cheong Loy himself and from public’s contribution.

Meals on Wheels Ti-Ratana carries 5 Projects now and will continue 'To Give & Give!'

Thank you for all your support for you made it possible

for us to carry out our mission, we shall continue

 'To Give & Give!' 

The Meals on Wheels Ti-Ratana came about with the intention to provide food for the body & mind to the needy and disadvantage regardless of race, creed & religion. Incepted in 2010, the Meals on Wheels programme has fed, clothed, cared for and make friends with over few thousands. 

Meals on Wheels, throughout the years have garnered great support and encouragement from the public. We grew from strength to strength because of our pure intention to give unconditionally.

A simple fellowship gathering was held on 12 Jan 2014 with members, invited guests, donors and volunteers of Meals On Wheels Ti-Ratana, to share our journey and also announce our five (5) projects:

1) MOW CELEBRATE2) MOW FOOD BANK3) MOW LIBRARY/ MOBILE CLINIC4) MOW GRANT5) MOW HAPPY CHILD

MOW CELEBRATE 

There are many out there who are not able to afford to celebrate during festive seasons or even birthdays. Realising this, MOW will visit a home/orphanage /NGO and celebrate with them during festive celebrations, during your birthdays or any occasion you feel like celebrating with them.

MOW FOOD BANK

The MOW Food Bank programme helps people who are not able to cope with providing sufficient nourishment to their families. MOW FOOD BANK provides monthly supplies of rice, sugar, oil, can food, eggs and other essential groceries.

MOW LIBRARY/MOBILE CLINIC

We build mini library to help spread the love of reading in rural areas and Orang Asli settlements.

We work together with other NGO’s & Doctors to offer free medical check.

MOW GRANT

MOW supports AnimalCare Society & Metta Karuna Animal Rescue team to feed, neuter stray cats and dogs in the city.

MOW HAPPY CHILD

This programme is set up to help children in Government Hospitals who are terminally ill. This programme will provide funds for diapers and special milk powder nutrients for the children. MOW will also visit these children and organise activities to bring cheer to them. 

During the event, our advisor Datuk Chief Dhammaratana announced another project for Meals on Wheels (MOW)  which is offering scholarship to those in need to courses such as Ophthalmology, Dentistry and other Living Skill courses.

This in total gives Meals on Wheels Ti-Ratana the opportunity to serve the community with meaningful 6 projects!

Our mission is made possible due to the support, encouragement, our kind benefactors, volunteers, your good thoughts, your kind sharing and caring.

Come and join us 'To Give & Give' to make a difference
