● Befrienders Malaysia
Befrienders Malaysia started in the year 1970, in KL. Now, we have 9 centers : KL,
Penang, Ipoh, Malacca, Seremban, Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu, Muar and Kuching.
Kuching started in 2018, and now is going to be two years old soon, and for Kuala
Lumpur already 50 years old. So, there are some volunteers who are more than 50
years old, i.e. about 50 years in befriending service. And the name of one of them is our
national advisor, Mr. Ganganara is with Befrienders KL. If without this MCO, we
would have form one more Befrienders centre in Terengganu but because of this MCO
we have to hold on. We are very grateful to have professionals like Dr. Rohayati Muda,
Dr Lim Poh Guan and the popular Cikgu Mohamad Azmi who help to initiate this
forthcoming project in Terengganu. We're looking forward to this.
