MCA's Crisis Relief Squad sets up website for those seeking employment

PETALING JAYA: MCA's Crisis Relief Squad (CRSM) has set up the GoCare Job Hub website to help those who have lost their jobs.

"Numerous companies and businesses have published more than 100 recruitment ads on the GoCare Job Hub in hopes of helping vulnerable families get through these difficult times," said its chairman Datuk Natalie Lim Chong Ly.

"GoCare Job Hub has two main functions - the 'I Need Job' function which enables job-seekers to examine and apply for suitable vacancies, and the 'I Need Worker' function that allows businesses to advertise their recruitment drives," she added.

She also said to step up the fight against the third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the CRSM has raised more than RM6,000 to purchase medical face masks as well donating personal protective equipment (PPE) and supplies to frontliners.

Lim said CRSM had raised the funds after Covid-19 survivor Toh Chin Poh launched a campaign on its GoCare crowdfunding platform.

Through the crowdfunding campaign, Lim said the funds have been used to purchase coloured medical masks for Kajang Hospital to help its medical staff distinguish between different departments.

Lim added that a batch of protective supplies was set aside for Sabah frontliners.

"Additionally, in an effort to support our frontliners, CRSM has donated another shipment of PPE and supplies to the Sungai Buloh Hospital as well as the two zones under the enhanced movement control order (MCO) in Ipoh.

"Our volunteers across the nation have been working relentlessly, around-the-clock to provide relief," she said on Friday (Dec 11).
