MRA Kelantan Supports UIA Student Outreach at Orang Asli Village in Gua Musang

Malaysian Relief Agency (MRA) Kelantan has extended its support to Program Peduli Asli 3.0 by contributing hygiene kits to student volunteers from the Comrade Club of International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Gombak. The initiative took place in the Orang Asli village of Sungai Lebir, Gua Musang, Kelantan.

The contribution was officially handed over by Encik Mohd Zakri Bin Ab Rahman, Operation Staff of MRA Kelantan, accompanied by Cik Nur Hafiza Bt Mokhtar, representing the MRA Kelantan Executive Committee. The ceremony was held at Sekolah Pasir Linggi, a key community facility within the village.

MRA Kelantan commends the commitment and spirit of volunteerism shown by the IIUM students, who camped in the village from 1st to 4th May 2025, dedicating their time to religious and community engagement activities. Reaching the village required navigating 8.8 km of partially paved roads, steep hill terrain, dense forest, and plantation areas, a journey that speaks to the resilience and dedication of these young volunteers.

This contribution reflects MRA Kelantan’s ongoing mission to support grassroots efforts in underserved and hard-to-reach areas. By providing practical aid and moral support, MRA hopes to empower local and student led initiatives that foster meaningful relationships with marginalised communities, such as the Orang Asli.

It is hoped that programs like Peduli Asli 3.0 will inspire more university students to actively engage in volunteerism, not just during their academic years, but as a lifelong commitment to serving others, especially in remote and vulnerable communities across Malaysia.
