KUALA LUMPUR (April 3): Boutique property developer Trinity Group Sdn Bhd recently donated essential medical supplies to hospitals in the Klang Valley and Penang for frontline healthcare professionals battling the COVID-19 outbreak in Malaysia.
In a joint-collaboration with Lions Club of Subang Jaya and Binastra Land Sdn Bhd, the medical supplies were ordered and flown in from China following news that local supply of critical items to keep medical frontliners safe was in short supply.
The supplies included 1,000 pieces of Rapid Test Kits, 10,000 pieces of 3-ply surgical masks, 1,000 pcs of surgical gowns and 2,000 pcs of N95 Masks worth RM125,000 exclusively for the use of healthcare personnel. These have been distributed to Tung Shin Hospital, Hospital Selayang, Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) and the Penang General Hospital.
“As a corporate citizen of Malaysia, we are doing our part to protect and show our appreciation for our front liners especially the doctors and nurses for their sacrifice and contribution to our nation,” said Trinity Group Managing Director and founder Datuk Neoh Soo Keat.
He added that the Group is committed to support the needs of communities in times of humanitarian crises, and has been a constant figure in aiding with disaster relief efforts in Malaysia.
In 2017, Trinity Group sent a convoy to deliver aid to relief centres around Penang when the state was hit by floods caused by a massive storm.
有感本地医疗设备供应逐渐短缺，该集团与梳邦再也Lions Club和Binastra Land有限公司合作，特别从中国订购了一批医疗用品供应给前线，以确保前线医务人员的安全。
这些医疗用品包括了1000份快速检测试剂、1万枚3层口罩、1000件防护衣及2000枚N95口罩，总值达12万5000令吉。这些医疗用品将分别捐赠给同善医院、士拉央医院、国大医院以及槟城中央医院。

Jing Mun suffered from thalassaemia since a year old.
CHONG Jing Man, 11, has been making frequent trips to the hospital since she was just a year old.
These trips are not short distance ones. Every two weeks, her father Chong Wai Keong drives her from Raub in Pahang to Kuala Lumpur to be treated for thalassaemia.
The genetic disorder has taken a toll on the family, both emotionally and financially.
After battling the illness for 10 years, Jing Man was finally given the opportunity to undergo a bone marrow transplant that could cure her.
The RM400,000 procedure took place in February and today, Jing Man is recuperating in Subang Jaya Medical Centre and being treated for a weakened immune system.
Now, Jing Man’s parents have to bear the costs incurred from the operation.
The Chongs come from a humble background and work as assistants in a coffeeshop in Raub.
Since Jing Man is in hospital, her father has been living with her while her mother recently returned to work.
Jing Man does not have any insurance coverage and for her transfusions twice a month, the Chongs have to set aside RM1,000 a month.
They also have two other children to care for.
So far, they have been aided by kind souls who have raised funds for their daughter.
They currently need about RM100,000 to finalise the outstanding medical bills.
At a press conference at Mediplex, Subang Jaya, Lions Club Subang Jaya announced it would step in to help raise funds for Jing Man.
Lions Club International district cabinet treasurer and Trinity Group managing director Datuk Neoh Soo Keat said doctors had notified them that Jing Man was the first patient to be saved with only a 50% bone marrow match.
The club hopes to raise between RM100,000 and RM150,000 for the outstanding bill and to fund Jing Man’s follow-up treatments.
A former beneficiary of Lions Club, Tan Hui Linn, a former acid attack victim, has also offered to transfer the balance of her financial aid from the club to Jing Man.
Lions Club Medical Aid Fund co-organisation chairman Adrian Lim said Tan had been offered financial aid to pursue her tertiary education.
“She graduated and is now working. She said she did not need the financial aid anymore and that she would like to channel the remaining funds to a charitable cause.
“She has chosen to transfer her funds to Jing Man,” he said.
Tan’s balance of RM31,000 will go towards paying for Jing Man’s medical fees.
Those who wish to help Jing Man can contact the Lions Club of Subang Jaya or send a letter to 25-1, Jalan Tanjung SD 13/2, Bandar Sri Damansara, Kuala Lumpur.
For Trinity Group Bhd, this year's race is a step towards attaining work-life balance and achieving non-work-related success by its staff. Taking part in his first Rat Race in the CEO category, Datuk Andy Khoo Poh Chye is looking to reinforce the importance of having "body, mind and spirit balance" for a happy and healthy life.
"As I should lead by example, I will take this opportunity to instil that thought in my colleagues. And for me, it is a good start to stay fit!"
He believes that a good corporate social responsibility programme should tap into a company's competency when developing initiatives that benefit society, be focused with clear objectives and be sustainable in the long run. The group participated in a flood relief campaign in the East Coast earlier this year through the Trinity Flood Relief Effort programme. It converted its sales gallery into a temporary donation collection centre and assisted the transport of goods to a nearby airbase for delivery.
"Knowing that we are running for a charitable cause is a good motivator in itself, as each step I take along the route will help secure a student's future through The Edge Education Foundation;' says Khoo. Running together for the first time, Trinity's five-member team is training hard near their office in Bukit Jalil in preparation for the event
KUALA LUMPUR, 03 September 2010 – Boutique developer Trinity Group Sdn Bhd together with Lions Club International is bringing its most ambitious project to date, the ‘Walk for Sight’ charity event to Klang Valley for the first time, announced Lions Club District 308 B1 and B2 at a briefing today.
Held in conjunction with Lions World Sight Day, ‘Walk for Sight’ aims to raise funds for the preservation and restoration of eyesight among underprivileged persons through the Lions Eye Clinic.
“The World Health Organization has estimated that the number of blind people in the world could double in the next 25 years. Through ‘Walk for Sight’ and the Lions World Sight Day, we hope to heighten awareness and education about sight preservation and preventable blindness,
said Lions Club District 308 B1 Chairman of Sight and Conservation Dato’ Neoh Soo Keat, who is also founder and managing director of Trinity Group Sdn Bhd, a sponsor of the event.
One of the key focuses of the Trinity Group has always been about providing the best in terms of modern innovations and latest technologies, while delivering the best products with the customers and the surrounding community in mind – by producing better facilities that will help the overall growth of the residences. That same spirit of giving spills over to Trinity’s sponsorship of the Walk for Sight event, whereby we hope that through this event, we will be able to reach out to more communities and help them in their quality of life.
The charity fundraiser organised by District 308 B1 and B2 Lions will be held on the 10th of October 2010 at the Dewan Sivik MBPJ, Petaling Jaya. Starting at 7:00am, an estimated 10,000 participants are required to complete a 3km loop in pairs starting from Dewan Sivik MBPJ to Amcorp Mall, led by Selangor chief minister Tan Sri Dato' Seri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim and Selangor State exco member Elizabeth Wong.
“The twist is that one participant out of every pair will have to be blindfolded, making the 3km walk a lot more challenging for the blinded participant and the other who will have to guide his or her partner.” announced Dato’ Neoh.
“Its ultimate objective was to give everyone a taste of just how difficult and sometimes dangerous life can be for the blind, hopefully leaving a deep impression that will keep them on the alert for preventable and treatable blindness for themselves and the people around them,” he added.
The ‘Walk of Sight’ fund represents the hopes and aspirations of the blind. All proceeds from ticket sales, priced at RM10 per participant, will be donated to the Lions Eye Clinic at MAHSA University College in Kuala Lumpur, which provides free operations and intra-ocular lens (IOL) implantations for the poor and elderly who are blind due to cataracts.
Since its official launch by Minister of Health Dato’ Seri Liow Tiong Lai in February 2009, the Lions Eye Clinic has conducted a total of 197 cataract operations and treated 1419 patients for eye illnesses. District 308 B1 Lions hopes to upgrade this clinic into an eye hospital in the near future with the support of the public and benefactors.
