Although I wasn’t sure about the organization they were from or what they did, I could see that they were helping others readily. Today, I have witnessed again how they helped to arrange for and move the beds. It’s quite a heavy and arduous task.” After a brief introduction of Tzu Chi to Dr. Azmy, a copy of Tzu Chi monthly journal was presented to him. Upon being informed that the mattress was tailored to fit the foldable bed, Dr. Azmy was touched by the careful and special arrangements made. He uttered, “I’m really very grateful to Tzu Chi for the timely delivery of supplies that help us overcome the problems we faced.” After spending three hours unloading and moving the supplies, Tzu Chi volunteers were exhausted and took a rest on the foldable bed. Noticing that the foldable bed could take the weight of a few volunteers, Dr. Azmy exclaimed, “Wow! This bed can take a lot of weight!” In fact, the hollow bed, 30 cm above the ground, can take the load of 150 kg when fully extended. No installation of parts, a bolt, a wrench or any tool is needed! In the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is everyone’s responsibility to observe the preventive SOP to protect ourselves and others from infection—Wear a mask, maintain social distancing and wash your hands frequently. It is also hoped that everyone can embrace a plant- based diet for better health. If we can all do our part and stay healthy, the medical system will not be further strained. Let us send our well wishes to Sabah and the world! Tzu Chi Renders Support in Sabah Covid-19 Fight
