Network of 1,200 migrant worker volunteers provide social support in dorms

SINGAPORE - For many of the 8,000 migrant workers living in PPT Lodge 1B dormitory, Mr Letchumanan Muralidharan, 47, has been their translator, mediator and confidant. When the dorm, also known as S11 Dormitory @ Punggol, was locked down on April 5 last year after being declared an isolation area, the construction worker from India stepped forward to help distribute food and bridge the language gap between residents, the dorm operator and the authorities. Over the past 18 months, he has helped fellow workers to manage salary disputes and problems at home, or to translate the latest government bulletins for them. Now, he is among 1,200 migrant workers who have been recruited as volunteers to strengthen the social support system for their peers. This network of volunteers, called Friends of Ace, was announced during the Budget debate in March. Since then, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has recruited volunteers of various nationalities from close to 300 dorms here. The network can reach about 200,000 migrant workers, or about 75 per cent of all workers living in dorms, MOM said. The volunteers will help make it easier for their fellow workers to raise issues with the ministry. They will also boost the Government's outreach efforts in dorms and help rally workers to participate in social activities. All volunteers will undergo basic mental health training and learn basic first aid skills. Those interested can also take up psychological first aid training. The training has been useful for Mr Murali. He recalled helping a worker who fell into depression and stopped eating after his wife died of cancer. This was during last year's circuit breaker and there were no flights to India. Working with the authorities, Mr Murali was eventually able to get the worker on a flight back to India. "I am very happy to volunteer. I came to Singapore in 1996 and Singapore has always supported me. So I don't mind helping," he said.

Kitakerja.my Seeks Malaysians to Join Job Matching Initiative Assisting B40 Group

PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA, Aug 24, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Kitakerja.my, a social initiative focusing on matching Malaysian jobseekers in the Bottom-40 ("B40") income bracket to domestic employers, is calling for more Malaysians to join hands in building an ecosystem of jobseekers and employers while at the same time assisting in the economic recovery one job at a time.From left: Co-founder Mohd Nizam Abdul Rahim, and Co-founder Choong En Han.Kitakerja.my is the brainchild of two young Malaysians pooling their resources together to help fellow Malaysians in the B40 bracket who lost their jobs.Kitakerja.my co-founder Choong En Han said, "Over the past 18 months, our whole nation has been focused on two numbers, COVID-19 new cases and death rates, but there is another number that has slipped into our lives without many people realizing it, and that is the nation's unemployment rate."There are more than 770,000 unemployed Malaysians now in the country according to the Department of Statistics June 2021 report. It was also reported that about 100,000 Malaysians lost their jobs in 2020 due to the pandemic, according to former Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan in a report dated Dec. 9, 2020."We started kitakerja.my to give unemployed Malaysians primarily in the B40 income bracket a platform in which they can be matched to jobs offered by employers. Jobs have become scarcer given all the lockdowns we have endured since March 2020. Together with employers and jobseekers, we can assist each other while in our own way, help the economy to recover and progress, one job at a time," Choong explained."We have seen firsthand how severely businesses have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Retrenching employees is always the last resort for any business. We want to do our part in helping Malaysians affected by the pandemic to rebuild their lives, particularly those in the B40 group who are most vulnerable to financial shocks," Choong added, "We need to act now and be a part of the solution and be the movement for a better Malaysia, otherwise, Malaysian household income levels will continue to deteriorate."Mohd Nizam Abdul Rahim, fellow co-founder who mooted the initiative with Choong, said, "Our resources are limited, and we really need the help of fellow Malaysians who have the skills to help us build, promote and develop this initiative. Currently, kitakerja.my is matching jobseekers and employers manually but we are seeking solutions to automate the process.""We are inviting tech-based experts, trainers and Malaysians in general to become a part of this movement. If you have the skills and ideas to make kitakerja.my a better platform to help Malaysians in need, please talk to us. Your contribution can also be as simple as sharing our website kitakerja.my or message via WhatsApp to keep the conversation going.""Many are suffering silently, but it should not be this way. Malaysians should come together this time with the aim to rebuild the nation as we celebrate the country's 64th National Day. Hopefully employers that are hiring could give our fellow Malaysians a chance in getting employed. With jobseekers being employed, the multiplier effect of increased private consumption would be kickstarted and ultimately everyone wins in the country," Nizam said.Besides matchings for B40 jobseekers, kitakerja.my also has plans to make them more employable through training and development programmes in which vocational skills will be emphasized.Kitakerja.my is a nation-building and social initiative by Malaysians for Malaysians. Kitakerja.my will be a social enterprise once all the infrastructure is in place. Choong and Nizam are open to discussing possibilities that can help B40 jobseekers upskill or reskill. #jomkitakerjabersamaPlease contact the below for more information:Choong En HanTel: +60 12-540 8338Email: han@kitakerja.my Copyright 2021 ACN Newswire.
