Here’s a good thing you need to know: For more than 75 years, the Malaysian Red Crescent Society has been serving the community in Malaysia as a voluntary humanitarian organization providing service and public education in disaster management, as well as healthcare in the community. In conjunction with the World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day on 8 May, we’re looking back on the years of MRCS’ activities, how it fights to keep humanity alive, and how it maintains the spirit of volunteerism alive among youths.
