14/9/2025 Lions Health Carnival @ 1st Avenue Mall, Penang
In conjunction with Childhood Cancer Month, the Lions Club of George Town Mutiara (LCGTM) participated in the Lions Health Carnival held at 1st Avenue Mall. The event featured 11 free health service outlets for the public, including: Vision screening, Hearing tests, Dental checks, Blood pressure and sugar level tests, Foot and live blood analysis, BMI checks, Gua Sha and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Organ donation pledges
LCGTM participated in a stall to inform the public about our joint partnership with Gleneagles Hospital Penang, offering free cataract surgeries, total knee replacements, and paediatric congenital heart operations for eligible applicants. Dr. Hing, who was present, explained that these benefits were extended to individuals from households earning below RM5,000.00 monthly.
Our Lions distributed 200 informative flyers to the attendees. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many expressing gratitude and interest in our project
PP Lilly Teoh, our Club Committee Chairperson for Diabetes & Health Awareness, was away in the north and unable to attend. PP Joyce Cheah, Committee for Paediatric Cancer, was present and actively engaged throughout the event. Other Lions who attended and lent their support included: PCC Allan, PDG Dato' Khoo, PP Sam, PP Dr. Hing, and PP Leong.
Our presence at the carnival had made a meaningful difference—and reaffirmed our commitment to serving the community with compassion and purpose. “Where there is a need, there is a Lion.”
10/9/2025 - LCGTM continued with its monthly Hunger Relief project.
Families identified as experiencing poverty in the Rifle Range area were evaluated by the MPKK (Majlis Pengurusan Komuniti Kampong) Committee, and their names were recorded for eligibility to receive food boxes and bread.
