01.04.2015 - PROJECT HOPE - HELPING A POOR FAMILY IN DESA RASAH SEREMBAN

I was informed by Dr Vanitha and Dr Vaishnavi about the plight of a family in Seremban who are facing grave financial difficulties as these two good Samaritans have been helping them previously. The family comprises of the father, a lorry driver; the mother, a housewife and their 4 children (ages 13,9,6 and 2)

Their water and electricity supply has been cut due to inability to pay and a check with the necessary departments shows that the outstanding bill amounts to more than RM5,000.00.The youngest child is forced to drink Teh-O because the family cannot afford to buy milk for the child. The second child has learning disabilities and is enrolled in an OKU school. However, she does not have transport to go to school. To add, she also has not been receiving her monthly Kebajiakan.

On 31st March 2015, in my capacity as Putera MIC Rasah Divison Cheif and Putera MIC National Secretary, I visited the family together with Mr.Suresh Subramaniam, Secretary of Putera MIC NS and Mr.Ravindran Marappan , Deputy Chief of Putera MIC Rembau. They bought necessary groceries for the family and formula milk for the child.

We had a long chat with the mother in order to get all the necessary details to be able to solve their water and electricity woes and also obtain help from Jabatan Kebajikan. We will also try to arrange for monthly supply of groceries for the family.

Looking around, we also noticed that the house is in a dilapidated condition. As such, we will try to arrange for the house to be painted, and to get new mattresses, pillows and clothes for the children. I advised the mother to ensure all the kids attend school and study well. I also assured her that we will try our level best to assist the family in all ways possible with the help of everyone. Thanking to Dr.Kani Mozi Rathnam for sponsoring bed,pillow,mattress, ms.Varsha Gopal for giving them new cloths , Mr.Santara Segaran for giving sundry food , Mr.Premnath Agamutu & Harekrishna for cash aid.

25.03.15-In Conjunction of my Late Father's Birthday

Today, 25th of March 2015 marks an important day in my life. It would have been my father, the Late Dato' T Rajagopalu's 64th birthday, the first since his untimely demise on 25th August 2014. Though no more with us, my father's values and legacy shall remain with us always and forever.
He came up in life the hard way, and climbed the ladder to success with his steely determination and efforts. He always stressed on the importance of education and throughout his lifetime, was committed on improving the welfare of the Indian community in Malaysia through numerous programs that he organized. One of his main passions was to help school students to achieve success which reflected in many of his programs.
Therefore, I believe there is no better way to remember the great man my father was than to reach out to the needy in our community, just like he always did. Together with my beloved mother, Datin Leelavathy Rajagopalu, and in my capacity as PuteraMIC Chief for Rasah MIC Division, I have donated net books to underprivileged students from Rasah, Negeri Sembilan who have performed well in the recent SPM&STPM examination. Thanking Rasah Division MIC Leaders for giving this student details.
We hope these initiatives will help the students to further enhance their learning process in addition to being a motivation to perform even better in their studies. It is also my utmost hope that through initiatives like these, my father's legacy will live on forever.

03.01.2015 - PUTERA MIC FLOOD RELIEF PROGRAM

As we are all aware about, our beloved Malaysia was affected by terrible floods end of last year. Many Malaysians from the affected states were left homeless while some had most of their belongings destroyed.

Putera MIC organized a flood relief collection wherein we collected and contributed pillows, mattresses and blankets to the flood victims.

Below are some of the pictures from the event :

I would like to convey my gratitude to Ravinderjit Singh, Treasurer General of Putera MIC National; Pravin, Deputy Chief of Putera MIC Negeri Sembilan and all members of Putera MIC who generously donated for the flood victims.

SCIENCE FAIR FOR YOUNG CHILDREN (NEGERI SEMBILAN STATE LEVEL) 2009

On June 2009,  our team Putera MIC Negeri Sembilan led by myself organized the Negeri Sembilan State Level Science Fair for Young Children (SFYC) for the second time. SFYC is a competition aimed to capture the interests of young students in the subject of Science through interesting and thought provoking experiments. It is an ideal platform for students  to learn scientific topics, skills and concepts in greater depth. This is the only event that exposes Tamil School students’ talents at such a young impressionable age and provides them with a sound foundation for their future learning of science.

SJK(T) Lorong Jawa impressed the panel of judges with their "Meteor and Asteroid" theme and took away the grand prize of RM750 cash and the chance to represent Negeri Sembilan in the National Level competition.

This event was also graced by Dato' T Rajagopalu, the Chairman of MIC Negeri Sembilan who took the opportunity to visit all the participants' booths and was happy with the efforts of the organizers and participation from many students.
