When general manager Chan Kien Ming heard about the Star Volunteer Programme event at Pulau Carey, he jumped at the chance to lend a helping hand to the community project.

He was just as curious about meeting the children who were part of this community as he was to check out the venue, located in the Kuala Langat district of Selangor, off the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
