Jeffrey Quek Shue Yew, our final student from the Faculty of Business (FOB) clinched the second prize in the creative writing competition on 22 July 2023. The competition was jointly organised by Melaka Blood Bank and Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Melaka in conjunction with the Melaka State Level World’s Blood Donors Day.
Through his creative message titled “Celebrate World Blood Donation Day! Embrace the power of giving. Unite to save lives”, Jeffrey received the prize and certificate from Datuk Dr. Rusdi Abd Rahman, Melaka State Health Department Director and accompanied by Dr. Zaharimah Abdul Kadir, Hospital Melaka Director during the award giving ceremony.
The competition served as a platform for aspiring writers and advocates to contribute to the noble cause of saving lives through blood donation. It also emphasises on the life-saving potential of this selfless act, where a single blood donation can save up to three lives. The event also witnessed the prize-giving ceremony for other categories namely Anugerah Penderma Darah, Anugerah Penganjur, and Photography competition.
Well done!
