Some Malaysian do not understand how important it is to follow SOPs which shows they do not care about others’ safety. But these siblings from Penang have shown us that there are still people who care about the future for this country.
In a recent post by Penang Kini on Facebook shows such an act of kindness by siblings who collect dirty masks that have been littered around their area.
Vasugi Ramasamy and her brother Suriya Kuppusamy from Taman Kesumba, Sg Bakap, Pulau Pinang noticed the number of dirty masks that have been thrown away around their area.
Vasugi who works as Accounting Clerk at Econsave, Nibong Tebal while her brother is a student at ILP Nibong Tebal realized that they have to do something with the situation.
Instead of ignoring the mess, they decided to take some action and started to collect all the dirty masks on the road from Sungai Bakap to Nibong Tebal which is about 7km away.
They start to collect the mask on August 17 with the hope to reduce the spread of any germs, bacteria, and during this pandemic.
In the post said:
“So friends, please think before removing the face masks that are being used everywhere. How do we know if the elderly and our children are healthy or whether they have a strong immune system? So they could be the first people to be attacked by Covid-19.”
The post also mentioned how health and hygiene of the country is all our responsibility. The post ended with reminding all Malaysians to not throw their masks carelessly.
