Dato' Chua Jui Meng,MCA Bakri Division chairman, mooted the idea of serving free food to the elderly and needy once a month as a way to give back to the people,after his extensive visits in both local and overseas.
He says: "Let's try something like this in Muar because we care for our elderly and the needy, who are mostly senior citizens who had contributed much to our community and society, Now,it's our time to serve them. "
The Welfare Bureau, assisted by the Wanita had developed the brainchild of Dato' Chua JUi Meng into real action. MCA members and the caring Muarians had contributed in many ways to make this project a success.
Some had donated eggs,chicken, rice and vegetable where else those who had time always find time to cook for the events. Even non -MCA members were touched by the good cause and sponsored the project in their respective ways.
Over the past three months, we had received very impressive responce from the target group.
April 2009- 80 persons
May 2009-130 persons
June 2009-178 persons
Dato' Chua Jui Meng, always a role model to all, had taken the leadership role to encourage more MCA members to give back to the society by serving the elderly and the needy in a sincere and caring way.
Brenda Toh and Chua Hui Lee are the new generation of young leaders at MCA Bakri. They believe that everybody has a special way to contribute to the local community in a special way,either money, time or love. As for both, they are always happy to help register the elderly on every event.

Personal touch is always important.:Dato' Chua make it a point to say hello to everybody because to many senior Muarians, for over the years they looked up to Chua not only as a leader, but as their mentor and adviser.
Towards a caring society: There is no copy rights for this project. MCA Bakri is hoping more NGOs will come forwad,and adopt the similar concept to benefit more Malaysians.
Thank u to those who made it happened.
Keep it up!!
