Volunteers across Malaysia are leveraging technology to ramp up production of personal protective equipment (PPE) for frontliners, and also ensure that the protective gear goes to the right people as quickly as possible.

One such initiative, the Open Source Community Fight Against Covid-19, is a Facebook group of tech enthusiasts who are using 3D printers, laser cutters and plastic injection moulding machines to produce safety gear.
