IMU Cares

IMU Cares We aim to provide our IMU Family a platform for experiential and holistic learning. Welcome to IMU Cares - Serving the Community.

Launched in October 2002, IMU Cares is one of the platforms under the Community Engagement office that has grown into an important part of University life, providing means for students and staff to engage with the community beyond the University. IMU Cares, also known as the IMU Community Engagement office aims to build and conduct sustainable community engagement activities with the community bey

ond the University. We have aligned ourselves with 4 pillars based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG); namely UN SDG 3, 4, 10 & 12. We advocate good health & well-being, quality education, reduced inequalities and also responsible consumption and production. Through the help of a team of dedicated project and programme coordinators from various academic programmes and corporate staff of IMU, the IMU Cares programme is currently engaging with a total of 78 community partners, in and around the Klang Valley, Seremban, Kluang and Batu Pahat! These include Children & Elderly Homes, Refugee Schools (like the Rohingya & Kachin communities), NGOs (such as the Malaysian Parkinsons Disease Association, Alzheimer Disease Foundation), Urban Poor Communities, Schools, Associations for People with Disabilities and also the Orang Asli community. We are advocates of empowerment - we want to help communities in need learn how to stand strong and strive for a better future. Here are some examples of how we have done so - we have empowered our Kachin community partners to establish their own sewing business, we empowered our elderly friends in the Ti-Ratana Welfare Home to take better care of their mental health, we have educated urban poor families on the importance of a healthy diet and how to attain it with a low cost; among others. With COVID-19 raging in our country, we also have stepped up to support the less fortunate communities via food donations, we have supported our hungry frontliners by providing lunch packs & motivational messages, and we have donated a huge number of Personal Protective Equipment to healthcare personnel battling the pandemic. We also advocate for increased awareness amongst the general public on current issues. For example, we have conducted webinars on road safety issues under our "Safe Drive Saves Lives" campaign, educated the public on Risk Management of COVID-19 and also imparted important information regarding the COVID-19 vaccine to our community.

⛑️ IMU Cares x St John Ambulance First Aid Workshop @ SK Methodist Petaling Jaya | 5 August 2026

What if every child knew what to do when an emergency happens? ❤️‍🩹

It may be an ambitious goal, but it is one that IMU Cares hopes to achieve, one step at a time.

On 5 August 2026, IMU Cares, together with St John Ambulance, had the opportunity to bring a First Aid Workshop to the students of SK Methodist Petaling Jaya.

The session introduced students to the basics of first aid and simple steps they can take when a friend or classmate gets hurt. 🩹

The learning continued with an exciting ambulance tour, where students explored the inside of an ambulance and got a closer look at the equipment used by emergency responders. 🚑

Because first aid is not just a skill for adults. It is knowledge that empowers children to stay prepared, look out for one another, and make a difference when it matters most.

One child at a time, one skill at a time. ❤️

🫀IMU Cares x MMA: Program Kesedaran Kesihatan Jantung @ KOA Sg Kelubi, Rawang | 19 July 2026

A healthier community begins with awareness — and sometimes, it starts with simply coming together to learn. ❤️

On 19 July 2026, IMU Cares, together with the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA), had the pleasure of bringing the Program Kesedaran Kesihatan Jantung: Makan Sihat, Jantung Sihat to the community of Kampung Orang Asli Sg Kelubi, Rawang.

The learning continued as the National Cancer Society Malaysia (NCSM) joined us to raise awareness about lung and breast cancer, highlighting the importance of taking charge of our health. 🎗️

A heartfelt thank you to MMA, NCSM, our volunteers, and everyone involved for making the programme possible. Most importantly, thank you to the community of Kampung Orang Asli Sg Kelubi for welcoming us so warmly.

♻️ IMU Sustainability Day 1.0 | Project ReMed

What if medical waste could have a second life?

Last Thursday, we launched Project ReMed, an initiative that puts the circular economy into action through education, innovation, and partnership.

🤝🏻 Turning Waste into Resouce through Partnership

The launch was followed by the MoU signing between IMU University and Cenviro Sdn. Bhd., strengthening our commitment to sustainable medical waste management.

Through this collaboration, medical waste residues will be treated and transformed into CENPave, which are sustainable interlocking concrete pavers — turning waste into resource for a more sustainable future. 🧱

From waste to resource, from idea to action.

Together, we’re taking another step towards a more sustainable future and One Health. 🌍

🧡 Beyond Silence & Beyond the Spectrum: Empowering Communities 💙

Following our interactive booths, our journey towards inclusion continued with a wonderful group of local vendors championing inclusion through their work, businesses and communities 🌱

From empowering youth with autism through culinary and entrepreneurship training to creating meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with autism, learning disabilities and the Deaf community, each vendor shared a unique story of inclusion, opportunity and possibility✨.

Their presence reminded us that inclusion goes beyond awareness — it’s about creating opportunities, celebrating abilities and breaking barriers.

A heartfelt thank you to all our local vendors for being part of this journey and championing a more inclusive community with us! 😊

Together, let’s continue creating spaces where everyone could participate, contribute and thrive. 💙

🧡 Beyond Silence & Beyond the Spectrum: Interactive Booths 💙

Reflecting on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Day with IMU Cares and B.R.I.D.G.E., held in July 2026 - because sometimes, learning starts with a simple conversation, a new perspective, or a moment of curiosity🌱.

Our interactive booths gave students the chance to challenge misconceptions, explore different ways of communicating and processing information, and learn more about Deafness and autism through engaging activities and experiences.

From Myth or Fact challenges to sensory experiences and memory activities, each booth encouraged us to look beyond what we see and hear, and appreciate the many different ways people experience the world.

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, participated and took the time to learn with us. Your curiosity and openness made the experience truly meaningful🫶🏻.

🧡Beyond Silence & Spectrum Forum: Advancing Inclusion Through Shared Voices and Experiences
💙

Recently, IMU Cares and B.R.I.D.G.E. successfully hosted a forum, bringing together passionate advocates, professionals, caregivers, and the community for an afternoon of meaningful conversations and shared purpose.

Through the lived experiences and invaluable insights of our distinguished panellists—Datin Soheir Khatib, Dr. Ong Jun-Jean, En. Mohamad Sazali, and En. Adli—we gained a deeper understanding of the realities faced by the autism and Deaf communities.

From navigating healthcare and education to employment, communication, and everyday life, the forum reminded us that meaningful inclusion begins with listening, understanding, and embracing every individual’s unique strengths and experiences.

As one of the key messages from the forum reminds us, meaningful inclusion is everyone’s responsibility.

Every conversation we have, every barrier we remove, and every opportunity we create brings us one step closer to a society where every voice is heard, valued, and empowered.

Thank you for being part of this journey towards a more inclusive future❤️

On 21st May, our Thursday on Purpose #5, "From Cuttings to Greenery: Plant Propagation Workshop" became more than just a session — it was an experience of learning through hands, observation, and a deeper connection with nature. 🌿

Across 2 hours, participants explored plant propagation through shared insights, live demonstrations, and hands-on practice, where simple cuttings slowly turned into the start of new life.

A total of 19 participants (14 staff members and 5 students) joined in, bringing curiosity and energy that made the space feel alive with questions, learning, and shared discovery.

This workshop was made possible through the collaboration of Encik Mohd Fikri (Director of E Ijau Milennium Explorer) and Encik Tajuddin Manap (Director of Tok Moh Herba Enterprise), whose sharing reminded us that sustainability is something lived and practiced, not just spoken about! 🌍

In the end, it wasn’t just about propagation techniques — but about noticing how growth begins quietly, and how even a simple cutting can hold continuity, care, and change.

Thank you to everyone who participated. See you at our next Thursday on Purpose! 🌱
