In support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), SGM has continued to engage communities through a series of health and educational initiatives in April and May.

On 27 April, SGM Pahang, in collaboration with Tengku Ampuan Afzan Hospital in Kuantan, organised a blood donation drive at the SGM Pahang Culture Centre. A total of 104 bags of blood were collected to help replenish the hospital’s supply. This initiative supports SDG 3: good health and wellbeing.

Health talks were held on 4 May at the SGM Muar Centre in Johor and SGM Perak Culture Centre, and on 18 May at the SGM Melaka Culture Centre. The Muar session addressed uric acid, gout and colorectal cancer; the Perak session focused on stroke prevention; and in Melaka, doctors from the SGM Beacon Group explained the symptoms, risk factors and prevention of heart disease. They also demonstrated cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques and taught participants how to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). These efforts further SDG 3 by enhancing public health literacy.

On 4 May, the SGM Batu Pahat Centre hosted a legal talk on scam prevention, offering practical guidance on avoiding scams and stressed the importance of staying vigilant. This programme aligns with SDG 16: peace, justice and strong institutions by helping to combat crime.

From 21–23 May, SGM Penang, in collaboration with Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM), coorganised the Seeds of Hope and Action (SoHA) exhibition at the university’s main campus in Minden. The exhibition aims to raise awareness and inspire action on the SDGs.

Through these meaningful initiatives, SGM continues to demonstrate its firm commitment to realising the SDGs and contributing to the creation of a more sustainable society.
