I was recently invited by the Rotary Club of Kelana Jaya to present the 2008 Vocational Service Awards to various care giver organizations and individuals in recognition of their outstanding vocational service.
Various community, social and NGO activitists who are care givers and have rendered time, effort and love to take care of the very old, terminally-ill, spastic children and others who need care and attention were duly recognised.
The care givers were nominated by several nursing homes, associations and NGOs for having proven their unstinting dedication to serve the terminally-ill, needy and others.
I have worked in the areas of crime prevention, occupational safety and various other social causes. In the course of my work I have come across many compassionate Malaysians who never failed to lend a hand, give a thought, do a deed and lace life with meanings for the less fortunate.
I pay tribute to these selfless and committed care givers and social workers who have been working tirelessly behind the scene to provide care and love to the terminally-ill, the disabled and many other unfortunate ones in our community.
They have played pivotal roles in giving meaning to a caring society.
These dedicated and committed care givers should be aptly described as the unsung heroes and they are the ones who deserve to be honoured and presented with Rotary’s Vocational Service towards.
The care givers’ commitment to noble deeds to serve the sick and the less fortunate behind the scene and without publicity deserve to be recognized not only by Rotary but also by the Government.
They should be considered for award presentations in conjunction with Federal and State Awards.
