A MALAY-MUSLIM charity group is taking a novel approach to solving problems faced by the Malay community.
The Prophet Muhammad's Birthday Memorial Scholarship Fund Board (LBKM) is organising a competition for undergraduates to look into problems faced by the Malay community and to offer solutions. The team with the best submission will win a cash prize of $3,000.
The competition, called LBKM Socialive! Challenge, is open to all undergraduates. They include non-Malay undergraduates as well as Singapore undergraduates who are overseas.
But LBKM, which is organising the competition with the Malay- language daily Berita Harian, said it hopes to see more Malay undergraduates take up the challenge as they have a greater stake in the community.
Said the charity's president, Mr Wan Hussin Zoohri: 'It is good to get different perspectives from non-Malay undergraduates. But more importantly, we want to see the Malay students giving more thought to the issues faced by the community.'
For many years, the community has been trying to solve long-standing issues such as dysfunctional families, teen marriages and students lagging behind in their studies.
