They Took Their Classroom Values to the Streets

SEGi College Subang Jaya extended warmth and gratitude to the local community this Ramadan with its Bubur Lambuk Distribution on 17 March 2025. Organised by the 18th Student Representative Council under the leadership of Nur Fatin Azwa Binti Zaki, a group of eight dedicated student volunteers brought traditional comfort to the Balai Polis USJ 8, Balai Bomba, and RACTAR through meaningful acts of sharing and appreciation.

The initiative was more than just a symbolic gesture during the fasting month — it was a heartfelt reminder of the importance of food security, community spirit, and public service recognition. Bubur lambuk, a nourishing porridge widely distributed in Malaysia during Ramadan, became the medium through which students conveyed respect and unity, especially to frontline personnel who safeguard society every day.

Food insecurity remains a global concern, with over 735 million people facing hunger in 2022 alone, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Local efforts like this highlight the role educational institutions can play in addressing both immediate needs and deeper awareness of sustainable food practices and equitable access to nutrition.

Beyond its outreach impact, the event also served as a platform for students to practise empathy-driven leadership. Planning, preparing, and distributing meals offered participants the chance to connect deeply with social issues while embodying the values of compassion, responsibility, and civic engagement that are essential in shaping future-ready graduates.

This event is organised in support of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
SDG 2: Zero Hunger
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
