The invisible war against Covid-19 is far from over and it is during these difficult times when we are seeing our society step up to help each other.
The frontliners such as the medical workers, police and army, as well as on ground workers are the true heroes. Thankfully, several local celebrities and brands have been contributing in various ways to Malaysians healthy and safe. Every little bit helps right?
