28 Jan 2016, Johor Bahru – UTM Language Academy organised a free market event today at Pusat Komuniti Kg. Pasir. People do not need to pay anything and they can take any of the new and preloved items that they need from the event. This might be a new concept to some but the team hope that this event will encourage the habit of giving.
The objective of this community event is to highlight the importance of kindness. Kindness from both the giver and the receiver. For the giver, instead of throwing things away and hurting the environment, it would be kinder to give them away to those who are less fortunate to reuse the items. They also have to make sure that they only donate items that are in good condition. For the receiver, kindness needs to be exercised in the sense of politeness and consideration for others. Although they can take whatever they want, they also need to refrain from taking things just for the sake of taking.
