Passing of a Champion of the Disabled
THIS is Edward's blog and extracted from his profile is the following information.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Lee was involved in the following achievements, done without financial funding from any political party, corporations or individuals but through cooperation and consultation with the public and working together with the municipality.
1) Malaysian Care
Lee started out voluntary work with Malaysian Care in 1985 driving children with learning disabilities to camps and outdoor activities. He was also their teacher and friend.
Through introductions by churches and friends, he later also helped people with mental illnesses, eg schizophrenia, suicidal cases and depression, by being their friend and carer.
Our condolence goes to his family on his untimely death.

New Training Centre Officially Opened
The guest of honor gave her speech recognizing the important service provided by PBSNS for the disabled people in Seremban and urging greater support to be given. Following the speech she cut the ribbon at the entrance to the new centre and then proceeded to unveil the plaque laid prominently on the wall of the centre. She pledged a grant from the state government and agreed to have several group pictures taken before she began her tour of the centre which ended with a simple lunch at the Chedang Cafe, a training cafe for some of our trainees.
Below are a selection of pictures captured of this very significant milestone event of our society.

PBSNS Sunday
My home church, Wesley Methodist Church Seremban, recognized our work by designating today as PBSNS Sunday. Mr. Wong Young Soon, executive director of Malaysian Care was our guest preacher. I did an update on the work of the association since the previous sharing. Staff and volunteers sell products made by the trainees as well as assist in becoming ushers and greeters during the service. In all we had a wonderful morning.

The U.S. Navy Came A-Calling
Arriving in a chartered coach these uniformed personnel quickly made their way to the meeting room where a briefing was given to explain our work before they were shown around the centre, after which they proceeded to clean up the drains and prune the branches of the trees outside.
After taking lunch they brought they left for their ship docked in Port Kelang. We really appreciated the help given by these young Americans. We hope that they have taken with them some memory of the kind of community work we do here to share with families and friends. Here are some pictures for the record.
