(China Press, Central - pg 9, 20 September 2007)

PJ 19) Taylor's College became the support unit of Hospis Malaysia with Project Phunk. They have donated at least RM5000 for Hospis Malaysia to help more people during this project. 54 students from Diploma in Mass Communication, Taylor's College, set up and planned "Project Phunk" within two and a half months, they hope to assist Hospis Malaysia, and show their love and care to them at the same time.

In Project Phunk's official launch - PHUNKtion this afternoon, the guests who attended included: Dr. Kee, the Academic Director of Taylor's College Petaling Jaya; Dr. Sylvia Ann McCarthy,the Deputy Medical Director of Hospis Malaysia, Ms. Deborah Henry, Miss Malaysia in 2007; Ms. Belinda Chee, Christien New and Lavin Seow, the famous artists and hosts.

Before the official launch, the organizers had some fund-raising events, included PHUNK T-shirts sales, teddy bears sales, donation drive and heal the heart, to devote warm and love.

Project PHUNK Manager Mr. Thomas said that, they will be having the main event - "One Night with PHUNK" at Laundry Bar, The Curve on this coming Tuesday (25 September 2007); it is free admission. However, they encourage the people who attend this event to spend RM10 for a raffle ticket, which entitles them to participate in a lucky draw, and a goodie bag. He said that some local artists will be invited to attend this party and it'll be a crowded night. He emphasized that, this project not only targets students, but also the adults who can take part in it too.

"We came up with this project, because we met the patients from Hospis Malaysia before. We hope that we can help them further." Thomas honestly said that, they faced many obstacles at first, like getting sponsors. But, as a result of the teamwork of every member, all the problems have been solved. He also added that, life should be fair, and various races, religions and background of the society should not be an issue.

So what is Palliative care?

2007-08-10T19:41:00.000+08:00

Palliative medicine is the treatment and care of patients diagnosed with life-threatening conditions, such as cancer and AIDS. Regarded as a holistic form of care, palliative care not only addresses the physical needs of patients with life-limiting illnesses, but places equal importance on their psychological, psychosocial and spiritual needs. The objective of palliative care is not to cure, but to provide comfort and relief to patients, and maintain the highest possible quality of life for as long as life remains.

Palliative care was not always acknowledged as a professional branch of medicine in its early years. Even today, not enough people are aware of the existence of palliative care, believing that patients with terminal sicknesses are lost causes. Hence, there are still many patients with life-limiting illnesses who are skeptical of where to seek pain relief and hospice services.

Established in 1991, Hospis Malaysia now has a full-time palliative care team comprising of medical professionals and dedicated volunteers working in their centre in Cheras. They have been tirelessly providing palliative care for their patients for more than 15 years while providing counseling services to bereaved families. They believe that all patients deserve care and attention regardless of what stage their illness is in. Caring for them till the end of life is never too much of an effort.

Being a non-profit organisation, Hospis Malaysia is in urgent need of funds for medical equipment such as oxygen concentrators, ripple mattresses, nebulisers and pulse oximeters; which have a high usage among their patients. They are also hoping to raise enough funds for the extension of their current building due to the drastic increase in number of patients over the years. As they provide their services free of charge, they depend greatly upon corporate donations and public support to maintain their standard of excellence in providing palliative care for their patients. However, this year corporate donations have been channeled mainly to environmental causes, therefore rendering Hospis

Concordantly, Project PHUNK hopes to assist Hospis Malaysia in their mission to create public awareness towards palliative care, as well as to promote prevention of needless suffering. We believe that people with terminal illnesses should still enjoy the best quality of life possible, just as healthy people can.
