“…and in this day and age where many of us are simply cynical that our country will ever change, I came away inspired that a bunch of young Malaysians were willing to step out humbly with a heart that said, I will do my part to change the world.”

“I think it’s important for young people to learn to love their country, be proud of where they come from, and come back, eventually, to serve their community and their nation. Life is not just about getting the most comfortable lives for ourselves”

The same exact words resonate in my heart. This email was a good reminder of why I am becoming a doctor and why I want to go back to home, my country to serve!

I caught up with Pastor Jit Pang, the guy behind the I LOVE Kluang initiative today to find out what has been happening in his city, and in this day and age where many of us are simply cynical that our country will ever change, I came away inspired that a bunch of young Malaysians were willing to step out humbly with a heart that said, I will do my part to change the world.

1. Why was I LOVE Kluang started, and what is it about?

It actually started off as the Railway Line Project in April when some youth in the youth group I lead alerted me about a poor family eating only one meal per day. I wanted to love the community in a practical way, so I thought, why not we start feeding the one household we knew?

The next month, we discovered there were families living in a squatter area along the whole Railway Line and low cost housing areas in Kluang that lived in abject poverty, and we quickly multiplied our help to a dozen households.

After the Change Your World Event, a hundred over youths pledged to do something for Malaysia, and we decided to turn this into the I LOVE Kluang project because loving Kluang is exactly what we want to do…. (Click here for more of the interview)

I study journalism at college and one of the issues often brought up is how news today is very much commercialized and sensationalized, catering to the masses’ appetite instead of reporting issues that truly concern our lives. The role of the media as the fourth estate: the public watchdog, is being jeopardized.

On occassions, however, I realize that the problem also lies with us, the newspaper readers. We turn to our favourite Sports or Entertainment sections first, cheer our football team’s victory and ooh and aah over celebrities’ gossip and very often forget about the rest. In doing so, we miss out important news that we need to know before we can Change Our World.

Ever since Change Your World was launched, I have become more sensitive towards injustice. Human trafficking in the news never fails to grab my attention, and you know what, I realize it is being reported in our newspapers again and again. How come I never noticed it before?

Malaysian Today reported this on 17th September. Perhaps you want to take a look.
