A Trip to Segamat Rehabilitation Centre

A team of academic and administrative staff from the Johor Branch Campus, led by the Head, Mr Liaw Fenn Yenn, brought cheer to the Segamat Rehabilitation Centre on 26 January 2006 in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebrations. Situated at a peaceful residential area of the Eastern Garden, the Centre operates in a bungalow, catering specially for children with Down’s syndrome disease.

The staff received a warm reception. They learnt that children with Down’s syndrome are lively and responsive, despite their distinct physical appearance and slower learning rate.

The staff spent time chatting with the children and helped to decorate the walls to create a festive atmosphere. Red packets were used in the decoration as it is the festive color that symbolises happiness and good luck.

Ms Teh Ching Haa, Assistant Registrar of the Bursary Department, thought that it was indeed a great experience that she would never forget. “The moment that I saw these children, I realized that we are so fortunate to be born as a healthy being, and we need to cultivate a compassionate and loving culture that cares for the needy,” said Ms Teh.

Head of Johor Branch Campus Mr Liaw said “We are proud to see that our college staff are filled with love and care for these beloved children, which was clearly shown during the visitation to the Rehabilitation Centre.”
