WAO will use the funds for various items such as food and essentials, utilities and security, shelter upkeep and maintenance, crisis counselling and psycho-support. SIS has determined that the funds received will be used for awareness, public education as well as advocacy work.
Autism Cafe Project, Lower Ground Floor, Da Men USJ
Always in support of the community, Da Men USJ in April this year welcomed the Autism Cafe Project (ACP) to the mall, a venue to provide autistic youths with work experience and a platform to raise awareness of Malaysia’s autism community.
To give back, ACP invites customers to donate a minimum of RM5 per meal for their “Buy and Donate Back” campaign. By helping to cover the cost of ingredients, ACP is able to prepare approximately 200 freshly cooked meal packets daily to distribute to frontliners and underprivileged families.
Those who wish to help ACP can contribute directly to Autism Project Enterprise. For more information, visit ACP on Facebook and Instagram.

Are you vaccinated?
To encourage more Malaysians to get vaccinated in the fight against COVID-19, many businesses are rewarding vaccinated customers by giving out exclusive promotions.
We have compiled a list of brands that are offering promotions for those who are vaccinated.

Until Sept 30, one Chilli will be injected into vaccinated customers’ Nando’s Loyalty account upon each visit. All you have to do is simply show that you have played your part in helping Malaysia achieve herd immunity by showing your vaccination certificate on MySejahtera.
P/S: With every three Chillies collected, you’ll be rewarded with a ¼ chicken for free!
On top of that, Nando’s is also celebrating our healthcare heroes by giving them 40% off their takeaway orders.
