We are honoured to be the beneficiary of this incredible fundraising initiative. Thank you to all the swimmers who are taking on this challenge — your dedication and effort mean so much to us and to those we serve. 💚 Indeed, together we can make a difference.

We are excited to announce our partnership with Befrienders KL for Courage in the Current.

Befrienders KL is one of Malaysia’s longest-standing organisations supporting people who need someone to talk to. They have helped thousands of people through difficult times by lending a listening ear and showing that no one has to face challenges alone. This is truly in line with our vision for a compassionate Malaysia, where support is always within reach.

Su***de prevention is not just about big events. It’s about all of us talking openly and caring for those who might be struggling. Many people in Malaysia face silent battles with their mental health, and sometimes the hardest step is asking for help. That’s why partnerships like this matter, together, we help break the silence, reduce stigma, and give hope to those who feel alone.

If you, or someone you know, ever need someone to talk to, please know help is available. You can reach out to Befrienders KL at https://www.befrienders.org.my or call their Su***de Helpline at 03-76272929. Your feelings and your life matter. If things get tough, don't hesitate to speak with a healthcare professional or connect with Befrienders.

Best way to get here:

1. Ride sharing. You can use any of the many e-hailing services such as Grab, AirAsia Ride and MyCar. Just book and ride, without the hassle of looking for a parking spot.

2. LRT. Take the Kelana Jaya line and stop at Taman Jaya or Asia Jaya station. From the station, easiest would be to use e-hailing, or if you're feeling adventureous - walk, to get to our centre. It will take around 5-7 minutes by car, or 20-30 minutes by walking. You can also take the bus (more info below).

3. Bus. You can hop onto one of the free busses provided by MBPJ to get here. Take the PJ01 bus to get to Jalan Templer. The bus will also stop at the above LRT stations. (more info here: https://www.mbpj.gov.my/sites/default/files/info_pj_city_bus_2025.pdf). Please check the bus route and plan your journey accordingly.

4. Drive. If you drive here, do note that parking is limited (you cannot park inside our compound). The best place to park is inside Assunta Hospital (paid parking across the street). Or park behind at the residential area (but please be mindful not to block the road/driveways. If you choose to park along Jalan Templer, do note that there is the risk of getting a summon from PDRM.
