Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Malaysians have been stepping up to help those in need wherever and whenever they can.

Some have been providing provisions and food to underprivileged communities, while others are banding together to donate medical equipment to hospitals in need.

In May, Tzu Chi Foundation Malaysia launched its Covid-19 Solidarity Fund to collect money for medical equipment such as ventilators, beds, masks, and nasal cannulas for hospitals.
