In conjunction with UTAR 10th anniversary celebration, the Centre for Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility in Business (CSDCSR) and the Faculty of Accountancy and Management provided community service to about 60 Orang Asli families in Broga, on the border of Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, on 15 April 2012.
Leading the volunteer group of about 30 UTAR staff and students were CSDCSR Chairman Dr Maran Marimuthu and lecturers Kasmah Tajuddin and Jayamalathi Jayabalan. Activities carried out included talks on health, gotong-royong, games and colouring competition. Village children also received grocery items, clothes, books, toys and stationery.
“Besides helping the Orang Asli, this project also aims to instil the spirit of love for the community and country,” said Dr Maran.
The project was in line with the continuous effort of UTAR to contribute to the development of the Orang Asli community.
