The only time in Tune Protect when our rival culinary skills, creativity and marketing prowess collide for a very good cause!<\/h4> \r\n

\"Merdeka<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThe mission was to raise funds to purchase laptops for our Tune Protect Orang Asli Financial Literacy, Empowerment & Entrepreneurship (FLEE) bootcampers to help them start their businesses. The strategy was to pit departments against each other in a healthy competition to raise funds for the project. Smaller departments combined forces against the bigger ones and menu items were kept secret until the final menu was published. The rules were flexible \u2013 departments could cook, prepare and sell or resell as much food and drinks that they could. Pricing was totally up to the department. The department that raises the most funds wins a surprise! There was only one main rule \u2013 selling could only start at 12.00pm and the last sale cannot pass 2pm. \r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n

It was an effort that brought Malaysians of various races and religions together in support of the underserved Orang Asli community. It was also a notable environmental protection effort. 2-in-1 would really be an understatement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\r\nWhy was this it coined 2-in-1? It was a CSR initiative that also had a \u201cpinch of green\u201d because there were no disposable plates, cups and eating utensils used. Diners had to bring their own reusable items. In addition, non-toxic biodegradable washing detergent was supplied to protect our waterways. Finally, photodegradable garbage bags that biodegrade naturally in the heat were also used.\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n

We raised RM6,060 in just under two hours and used the proceeds to purchase 3 HP laptops for our budding Orang Asli entrepreneurs undergoing our financial literacy programme (FLEE).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
