13.1.2018 : 'Kembali Ke Sekolah Tahun 2018' Program at SJK (T) Port Dickson

Today I had the opportunity to attend the 'Kembali Ke Sekolah Tahun 2018' program held at SJK(T) Port Dickson organised by Dato' VS Mogan/SITF NSDK Service Centre and MIC Teluk Kemang Divison with support from Yayasan Hasanah. This program was officiated by our Deputy Education Minister, YB Datuk P Kamalanathan.

I was joined by Mr Ravindran, Deputy Chairman of PuteraMIC Rembau Divison and Mr Sargunan, Chairman of PuteraMIC Teluk Kemang Divison.

This was a very well organised program for the benefit of students from low income families. These students are the future of our nation, our #TN50 and it is our responsibility to support them in achieving their dreams through education.

4.1.2018 : Discussion with Head of Fisheries Department, Port Dickson and SOCSO House Visit (Taman PD Utama and Batu 2, Jalan Port Dickson)

On 4th January 2018, I had a fruitful discussion with Tuan Arshad, Head of Fisheries Department of Port Dickson to find solutions for issues and procedural problems faced by the fishermen I visited previously.

I also handled 5 SOCSO related cases by visiting 5 individuals in Taman PD Utama and Batu 2, Jalan Port Dickson together with Puan Risalah, officer from SOCSO; Mr. Gopal, MIC Branch Chairman and Ms. Mariyaee from WanitaMIC. These individuals have difficulty being mobile due to physical challenges/ unavailability of transport and as such, find it difficult to go to the SOCSO office.

We assisted them by advising on the type of aids they can apply from SOCSO based on their conditions and the requirements while also helping them to fill out the relevant forms.

I would like to applaud SOCSO for the continuous great job done for the welfare of Malaysians. During all my dealings with SOCSO officers especially those in Squad Prihatin, they have always been prompt and efficient in providing assistance and solutions. We also informed to the public regarding intiatives taken by our Menteri Besar and BN Government.

Today, Mr. Ravindran Mariappan (Treasurer) and myself represented Persatuan Kepimpinan Pendidikan Graduan  (PKPG) to visit 4 low-income families at Taman PD Utama in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan.

We were informed by Mdm. Mariayee, the local head of Wanita MIC about the plight of these 4 Christian families and decided to visit them to spread some cheer in conjunction with the Christmas celebrations. 

The families were presented with grocery items to lessen their burden. We also took the opportunity to inquire about grievances they face in order for us to help find prompt solutions. We also informed them about the aids offered by the government that they can apply for.

On 22nd December 2017, I joined the call from our Prime Minister Najib Razak for all Malaysian to unite regardless of race religion for “Himpunan Solidariti Selamatkan Baitulmaqdis” which was held at Masjid Putra, Putrajaya

In the recently concluded meeting of United Nation (PBB) in New York, 128 countries supported the motion to reject the United States of America's decision to recognise “Baitulmaqdis” as the capital of Israel.

12.12.2017 : Jangan Terperangkap Momokkan Nostalgia Palsu (News Article)

Following is the excerpt of the news article published on 12th December 2017 on www.pru14.tv : 

Dineshwaran yang merupakan Ketua Putera MIC Bahagian Rasah sependapat dengan Ketua Pemuda UMNO, Khairy Jamaluddin yang mahu rakyat jangan terperangkap dengan dakyah pembangkang yang mengatakan nostalgia zaman lampau sebenarnya lebih hebat daripada apa yang rakyat nikmati sekarang.

Katanya, “Sebagai contoh, komuniti yang sekian lama di bahagian perladangan telah berkembang maju menjadi komuniti yang amat profesional, sebagai contoh nama-nama yang sinonim dengan perkembangan Malaysia seperti Orang Terkaya di Malaysia, Tan Sri Ananda Krishnan, CEO rangkaian restoran dan syarikat Lotus, Datuk Doraisingam Pillai, dan Usahawan Malaysia serta Pengasas Syarikat Tune Air Sdn Bhd, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes dan ramai lagi.

11.12.2017 : Sambutan Bulan Keluarga Kebangsaan 1Malaysia

On 11th December 2017, I had the privilege to attend the 'Sambutan Bulan Keluarga Kebangsaan 1Malaysia' Program organized by Majlis Pembangunan Wanita, Keluarga & Masyarakat Parlimen Teluk Kemang and headed by Puan Safiah Sidek, Chairman of Wanita UMNO Teluk Kemang. This program was held at PDM Kampung Paya, Port Dickson.

This program was also attended by Ms. Thulasi, Chairman of the Teluk Kemang Women's Division of MyPPP; Ms. Ct Hawa, Chairman of Kongress Indian Muslim Women Teluk Kemang (KIMMA); Mr. Hamid Mustapha, former MIC Branch Chairman of Kampung Paya; Deputy Chairman of MCA Teluk Kemang, Mr. Vincent; Chairman of Pemuda MCA Teluk Kemang, Mr.Edward; and Ms.Eykaa Nazarudin and Ms.Rohaini Ahmad from Puteri UMNO Teluk Kemang.

The atmosphere was vibrant and lively. There were many activities held for the attendees such as drawing and coloring for kids, aerobics, many family activities and free pap smear test and vaccinations by the LPPKN Mobile Buses. Small business owners were also given the chance to set-up stalls showcasing and selling their products. There were stalls selling cosmetics and perfumes made in Malaysia in addition to food stalls being set up serving delicious food such as curry noodles.

I had a great time mingling with the locals who attended the program, joining some of the interesting activities and took time to visit the stalls set up by the small business owners and even bought some of the goods sold. I managed to have a few words with Puan Hajah Suhana Ahmad founder of her own beauty line, Ancient Cosmetics which is registered with Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB). It was especially heartwarming to watch the activities participated by families as a whole.

I would like to commend Puan Safiah and her team for perfectly organizing this program and to ensure it went on without a single glitch. It was great to be part of a program that managed to bring together all the locals in a carnival-like program, where everyone had the chance to enjoy themselves while strengthening the bond between families, local leaders and the rakyat.

22.11.2017 : Program Jalinan Rakyat (JRplus) Teluk Kemang

On 22nd November 2017, I was involved in Program Jalinan Rakyat (JRplus) organized by Wanita UMNO Teluk Kemang together with PuteraMIC Teluk Kemang.

This program was joined by Ketua Wanita UMNO Teluk Kemang, Puan Safiah Sidek and 16 members from 'Squad Sayang' Wanita UMNO Barisan Nasional; Mr. Sargunan,  Chief of PuteraMIC Teluk Kemang; and Mr. Ravindran, Deputy Chief of PuteraMIC Rembau. 

During this program, we visited five families at Batu 2, Jalan Port Dickson. We took time to listen to and take note of problems they faced in addition to providing them some advise and  solutions to solve them. We also gave them some grocery items to help ease their burden. Puan Safiah and I advised the families on the procedure for BR1M application and other government aid they can apply for.

This was a very fruitful event wherein we got the chance to 'get to the ground' and interact with the rakyat, listen to their problems and also create awareness about the initiatives undertaken by the Barisan Nasional government to help Malaysians. I hope we will be able to continue these visits in the nearest future in order to meet and interact with even more Malaysians.
