Volunteering at Yayasan My First Home (YMFH)
I spoke about the volunteer work as a committee member at Yayasan My First Home (YMFH) founded by Tan Sri Vincent Tan, the chairman of Berjaya Corporation and deputy chair of the foundation, Datin Sunita Rajakumar, is the chairperson of Dutch Lady Malaysia, and supported by a team of trustees and advisors. The ideation of the foundation was mooted as early as 2019 to tackle affordability of affordable housing related to the people of the lower in group.
Again, it was and still is, an honour to be part of the committee of YMFH that has clear objective to promote home ownership among the people from the lower income group or B40 in Malaysia.
Through many iterations and deliberations, YMFH is currently running in full force to reaching out to the B40s who aspires to own a house. They faced many challenges from having a down payment and in getting loan approval that could be due to poor credit score. YMFH targets those applying for home and swiftly steps in to assists them including providing financial literacy workshop. For more information, please visit https://yayasanmyfirsthome.my/.
