The Star is partnering with popular social activist and philanthropist Kuan Chee Heng, better known as “Uncle Kentang” to help Malaysians in need.

"Reading The Star increases your knowledge while donating to the needy is good for the soul," said Kuan, whose charity has been busy helping flood victims in Taman Sri Muda, Shah Alam and providing ambulance services to Covid-19 patients.

Kuan himself was warded at Serdang Hospital as a Category 4 patient of Covid-19 recently but has since been discharged.

He even doubled the number of ambulances under his charity for Covid-19 purposes to two as more people were contracting the virus.
