The commitment shown from the OKUs and their parents is exemplary in giving hope to other OKUs to operate and establish a business like this,” he added.

OKU Dobi Launch!
Mid Valley Megamall was good enough to provide space free of charge for the OKUs. Together with the generous financial support of Tan Sri Azman Hashim (AmBank Group) who is the main sponsor and other benevolent well wishers like Dato' Tony Tiah and Mr. Tan Ee Teck, the OKU Dobi Sdn. Bhd. is set to become reality.
This milestone project is strongly supported by the Ministry of Social Welfare (JKM) and the Selangor Cheshire Home. After what has taken two months, the OKU Dobi Sdn. Bhd. will be launched by Dato' Meme Zainal Rashid, Ketua Pengarah of JKM on Friday 22nd October 2010 at 3pm.
It is with great pleasure that we are inviting you to this Launch of the OKU Dobi Sdn.

Last day~
Since it's the last day of the training, the participants are feeling a little low and the day seems to be long. Nevertheless, after a word from the General Manager, Lim Jit Nee, the participants are eager to start off with their own business!
Let us all pray for their well being and hope they could achieve success in their laundry business!

New day, new knowledge!
Today, the participants gained a lot of knowledge on how to open a laundry business. Improvements could be seen in terms of ironing shirts and they are getting a hang on how to use the steamers. Cheers for them!
