OPENING OF SATHYA SAI BABA DENTAL CLINIC ON 3RD JUNE 2012
My Humble pranam at the lotus feet of Sathya Sai Baba.
Bro. Billy Fong, Vice President SCA Central Council, Bro Govind, Johore State Co-ordinater, Bro. Dr. Ong Johore State Vice Co-ordinater, dear Honoured Guests and Fellow Devotees,
On Behalf of the committee of the Sathya Sai Baba Bhajan Unit Tangkak, I wish to welcome all of you to the official Opening of our Dental Clinic which is dedicated to our Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The Sathya Sai Baba Council of Malaysia is an inter-faith non-profit NGO dedicated towards the promotion of Human Values and services to the poor, sick and needy.
In line with the teaching of Sai Baba, we should always reach out to help the underprivileged in our society. The implementation of this project is to relieve financial burden and to improve the well-being and quality of life of the needy, to give our members the chance to serve with love and unity, to expose more members to participate in service programme and last but not the least, to build interfaith harmony through service with other races.
Dental Decay is the most common disease affecting mankind. Dentistry has advanced and progressed tremendously over the years. However, we note that the poor and underprivileged citizens have no access to dental treatment and cannot even afford to have a simple dental check-up
On the 25th May 2012 'star newspaper' our Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said that we needs to pay rm2 to a dental filling which would usually cost up to rm31.00 at ordinary clinic. Replacing artificial teeth only cost rm56.00 compared to rm946.00 per treatment at ordinary clinic.
However, we will provide FREE DENTAL TREATMENT to all underprivileged Malaysian of all races and religions who qualify under our guidelines. We sincerely hope the Welfare Departments, Dental Surgeons,Principals, Headmasters will assist us in identifying needy cases. We also apeal to Dental Surgeions who wish to volunteer their services to assist us in our project. We would also like to tender our appreciation to Bro. Dr Ee and his Team of Doctors and Volunteers from Melaka without which this Dental Clinic could not have materialize.
This is only a part of our continuous programmme for selfless service to the poor, sick and needy and toward the promotion of Human Values.
Thank you and Sai Ram.
