Navamalar Naggappan firmly believes in helping those in need and the best way to help, she says, is by empowering them. If there is a phrase she lives by it is this: If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; but if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.
The Ketua Komuniti India Kampung Tungku is no stranger to doing good deeds. During the pandemic, Navamalar, 40, cooked meals and ran errands for Covid-19 patients who were quarantined in the hospital or at home.
