At the beginning of the year, we were facing increasing numbers in Covid-19 cases. As a result, we underwent the Movement Control Order (MCO) while our frontliners took on the battle. Malaysians came together to provide as much support as possible whether in the form of donations, volunteering, or just doing their part and staying home. Now the number of cases are on the rise again and organisations are in need of help. Here are five Malaysian organisations that need your support.


1. Malaysian Relief Agency (MRA)

In addition, they are now fundraising to provide PPE, food, and medical attention to those in Sabah. As of 31st October, MRA has raised over RM100,000 in donations.

2. Malaysian Medical Association (MMA)
