            Will you stand up for kids?

Millions of refugee children have been forced to flee conflict and persecution. YOU can help us reach more children, and give them hope for a better future. There’s something you can do thisJune, for a needy child. Here in KDU University College, The Corporate Social Responsibility Class of April 2013 Bachelor of Communications has organized a very worthy fundraising campaign for ULC (United Learning Centre).
ULC is a group of humble individuals who are non political, non government related and just want to help the refugee children who are now seeking refuge in Malaysia; very often for reasons beyond their comprehension.

They run a Community-Based Refugee School (Learning Centre) for Myanmar refugee children in Malaysia. It’s a Learning Centre whereby these children are given the opportunity to be educated, fed a proper meal, study and play, and basically just be a kid in a safe place.

All of them are volunteers, work for free and they incur zero administrative cost. 100% of the donations go to the children where it helps to provide lunch, education, a safe place for them to study, play and prepare them to be accepted by a third country like the USA, Australia etc so they can have a brighter future

Now, together with KDU, they are organizing a worthy charity project at United Learning Centre(ULC) Myanmar Refugee Children Society. Dubbed as the ULC Fundraising campaign, the campaign will be geared towards securing continuous food supply and funds to support the United Learning Centre for the duration of three months. The campaign sees donation drives where our team will hit targeted areas to collect donations from the public to provide food supply, raise funds to secure the centre’s rental and utility bills as well as providing a water filter and dispenser system for the United Learning Centre’s shelter.

Main objectives:-
1) Acquire continuous food supply for the duration of three months
2) Raise funds to cover three month worth of the centre’s rental and utility bills
3) Provide a water filter and dispenser system for the centre

In order to make this worthy campaign a success, we would encourage everyone’s kind assistance and collaboration to provide used or new clothes, books, blankets, toys, stationary and school uniform for these Burmese children. Other than those mentioned, all other forms of assistance are very much welcome with open arms. All the donations collected will definitely put a big smile on the children’s faces. :D

S.SHAMSUDIN MENINGGAL DUNIA

Al-Fatihah buat Allahyarham...

S,Shamsuddin meninggal ketika sarapan bersama isteri

SINGAPURA[4 Jun 2013] - Pelakon veteran era 50an S.Shamsudin meninggal dunia ketika sedang menikmati sarapan bersama isterinya Puteh Ismoon di rumah mereka di Bukit Batok, Jurong di sini.

Puteh, 77, berkata beliau sebelum itu baru sahaja menyuap mee rebus kepada arwah yang duduk di atas katil sebelum arwah memintanya mengambil air di dapur.

"Apabila saya kembali semula ke bilik, saya tengok arwah dalam keadaan tidak sedarkan diri dan saya terus menjerit memanggil anak bongsu saya yang berada di bilik sebelah untuk melihat keadaan ayahnya.

"Ipin (anak bongsu) cuba beberapa kali memberikan bantuan pernafasan tetapi arwah masih tidak sedar sehinggalah apabila dibawa ke hospital doktor mengesahkan arwah telah meninggal dunia," katanya ketika ditemui di kediaman mereka. 

Puteh yang kelihatan cukup sedih, menyifatkan Shamsuddin sebagai seorang suami yang baik dan bapa yang amat penyayang kepada anak-anaknya seramai tujuh orang.

"Arwah di rumah merupakan seorang yang pendiam walaupun di luar orang nampak beliau suka membuat lawak. Namun arwah merupakan seorang bapa yang penyayang.

"Sejak terlantar sakit kebelakangan ini, arwah suka merenung muka saya dan pagi tadi sebelum saya ke pasar arwah sempat meminta saya membersihkan dirinya.

"Selepas ini tiada lagilah teman saya untuk bercakap," katanya tidak dapat menahan sebak.

Sementara itu, anak bongsu Allahyarham Mohamed Ariffin, 44, berkata ketika kejadian beliau berada di biliknya kemudian mendengar ibuya menjerit memaklumkan tentang keadaan ayahnya.

"Apabila saya sampai di biliknya, saya lihat arwah berada dalam keadaan tidak sedarkan diri dan mukanya juga pucat. Saya cuba memberi pertolongan pernafasan beberapa kali sebelum ambulans sampai, namun arwah tidak memberikan sebarang reaksi.

"Apabila pasukan perubatan sampai, mereka juga beberapa kali cuba memberikan bantuan sehinggalah dibawa ke National University Hospital dan akhirnya doktor mengesahkan ayah telah meninggal dunia," katanya.

Katanya, doktor mengesahkan ayahnya meninggal dunia akibat serangan sakit jantung kira-kira 10.56 pagi.

Katanya arwah sebelum ini terlantar sakit hampir tiga tahun akibat menderita penyakit parkinson dan batuk kering.

Jenazah yang dibawa pulang ke rumahya dijangka akan dikebumikan esok di Pusara Abadi Chua Chu Kang, kira-kira pukul 10.30 pagi.

Antara yang hadir menziarahi jenazah ialah pelakon veteran seangkatan Allahyarham, Wahid Satay atau nama sebenarnya Abdul Wahid Ahmad, 83.

Beliau yang menganggap arwah sebagai abang kandungnya, cukup terasa dengan pemergian Allahyarham yang selama ini banyak membantunya semasa zaman lakonan di Studio Jalan Ampas.

"Kali terakhir saya bertemu Allahyarham ialah semasa majlis penghargaan artis veteran bersama bekas Menteri Penerangan Komunikasi dan Kebudayaan Datuk Seri Rais Yatim baru-baru ini," katanya. - Bernama
