SINGAPORE - When he was 14, Iylia Haidhar Zulkepli found a tumour in his neck. It turned out to be stage 3 cancer. He then had to undergo intense rounds of chemotherapy and radiotherapy over a month. It took the Secondary 2 student three months to fully regain his health. But what stayed with him was how well the healthcare staff took care of him, and he emerged from his ordeal with a better understanding of how stressful - yet worthwhile - healthcare jobs can really be. Mr Iylia, now 30, works as a community care associate at Ren Ci Hospital, having joined in March. He is among those who have taken up the job redesign initiative launched by the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) last year, aimed at those contemplating a mid-career switch to the community care sector. The initiative was piloted last year with four participating community care organisations - St Luke's Eldercare, Ren Ci Hospital, NTUC Health and St Andrew's Community Hospital. Given its success, more community care organisations will now be invited to come on board, said Senior Minister of State for Health and Manpower Koh Poh Koon on Thursday (Sept 23).

The Company, which turns 32, affirms commitment to help communities in distress KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21, 2021 – (ACN Newswire) – Spritzer Malaysia (“Spritzer” or the “Company”), which produces Malaysia’s best-selling natural mineral water, is committed to the wellbeing of the community and has endeavoured to send aid to the vulnerable and less privileged in society during these challenging times brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is especially poignant for Spritzer as the Company turns 32 today, that the best way of celebrating another milestone in its corporate journey is to continue the commitment to support fellow Malaysians, especially those who have been marginalised by society and lack the basic necessities such as food, shelter or even safe drinking water. Spritzer Malaysia recognises that the pandemic has been especially hard on those in the Bottom-40 income bracket, the Orang Asli, the homeless and those living in rural areas. The Company escalated its community outreach programme in April 2021 by working through non-governmental organisations (“NGOs”) to send them aid in the form of clean drinking water amid the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A calendar featuring recipes of 12 dishes such as Korean fried chicken, nasi goreng and chapati.
