“The Chinese New Year festive season is when a household traditionally declutters as part of spring-cleaning and in preparation for the annual celebration. The surge in listings on Carousell this year shows that Malaysians are becoming more aware of each item’s value, and instead of throwing things out are choosing to list their preloved goods on Carousell,” said Tang Siew Wai, Country Head of Carousell Malaysia.

“More Malaysians can now access to Carousell to conveniently buy and sell preloved goods at a reasonable price.”

Pn. Nirmalah Thurai, Pengarah Eksekutif Hal Ehwal Korporat, Nestlé Malaysia berkata, “Kami amat komited untuk membawa perubahan bermakna dalam kehidupan mereka yang memerlukan. Sebagai sebuah syarikat yang menyokong keterangkuman dan kepelbagaian budaya, kami percaya bahawa setiap insan sewajarnya diberi peluang yang sama untuk membaca dan menulis, termasuk golongan buta. Kecelikan braille adalah satu komponen penting dalam pendidikan kerana kemahiran ini membuka pintu dan menambah peluang untuk orang buta dan cacat penglihatan. Kami berharap sumbangan ini dapat membantu menambah baik kadar celik huruf dalam kalangan orang buta dan cacat penglihatan di Malaysia.”

Menurut En. Silatul Rahim Dahman, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif dan Pengasas Bersama YOBM, “Kami ingin mengucapkan ribuan terima kasih kepada Nestlé Malaysia kerana bermurah hati memberi sumbangan ini dan sekian lama menjadi penyokong kuat masyarakat buta. Sumbangan ini pasti akan memberi banyak manfaat kepada masyarakat kami, terutama sekali kanak-kanak. Di YOBM, kami percaya bahawa pendidikan boleh memutuskan kitaran diskriminasi dan kemiskinan, dan buku-buku ini pasti akan memberi peluang kesaksamaan kepada masyarakat kami.”

“I have always wanted to be a philanthropist ever since I was a young, but I realised that money was not needed to have a beautiful heart. I will continue to do anything to help those in need.”

“There is never a perfect time to give, but there are always people in need out there. The best and only way I know is to multiply that happiness and share it with the opportunity with others. Carousell’s #PrelovedwithLove campaign is the chance and opportunity for us to do some good deeds, and we should not miss this opportunity.”

“Carousell approached and ask if I am interested in the campaign, and I immediately agreed to it, knowing that giving is always better than receiving. The #PrelovedwithLove campaign is the opportunity for us to encourage people to give.”

“I have donated some of my books, stationaries, a watch, and some everyday items that will be helpful especially to the children. I believe the end goal here is to see their smile and joy, as well as to provide them with a conducive and healthy living environment.”
