Support Pours in for Subang Jaya's Community Ambulance
OVER the last 24-hours, support from all across Subang Jaya has poured in to keep one of the townships iconic service - the Subang Jaya Community Ambulance going.
More than RM5,000 has been received from donors from the community who have responded to the appeal for funding via online banking.
Other pledges have also come in for longer term support from the private and corporate sector to provide a lifeline for the ambulance service which has saved many lives in the township.
SJ Beacon, Subang Jaya Community Ambulance acting chairman TH Teoh said members of the non-profit organisation set up primarily to provide medical emergency response were humbled by the support that was coming in from the community.
"Over the last 24-hours, we have been receiving calls and whatsapp messages from all corners of the township. The pledges are coming in to help us sustain this service which has been saving lives over the last 3 years."
"It is no easy task to sustain this service which requires around RM15,000 a month but the gratification is knowing that we are saving lives and making a difference in the community," he said.
Teoh said the service was not out of the woods yet as it needed mid to long term support to keep the ambulance unit going.
"Our unit has been serving the community from Bandar Sunway, Subang Jaya and USJ touching lives and saving them as we whizz around the township in response to emergency calls."
"We are glad to see people now coming forward to extend us a lifeline to continue serving them," he added.
