MALAYSIA'S RAINY DAYS
Beginning as our 2017 Inspire Initiative, Malaysia's Rainy Days (MRD) is a collection of stories that showcases the Malaysian spirit in volunteerism and activism. Ultimately, it aims to raise awareness on those who are underprivileged, as well as highlight issues in Malaysia that still require attention and help from the public.
