KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 9 — The Segambut MP’s Office signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) roday with the Korean Society of Malaysia (KSM) and La Fiorire DSP Global Sdn Bhd to provide complimentary hair-cutting services to 250 B40 residents within the Parliamentary constituency.
Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh said that under this initiative, eligible residents will benefit from free hair-cutting services at the La Fiorire Korean Beauty Group salon every month.
The programme aims to serve senior citizens, single mothers, and children from the B40 community, with the goal of enhancing their self-confidence through professional grooming.
"Additionally, a six-month hair-styling skills training programme will be offered to 20 youths from the constituency, as part of the Rakan Muda initiative, Rakan Mahir. Upon successful completion, trainees may also be considered for job opportunities," she said.
Yeoh was speaking to the press after signing the MoU with KSM chairman Kim Jong Hwa and La Fiorire DSP Global Sdn Bhd director Kim Bumjin.
She added that as part of the initiative, her office has also visited schools within the constituency, to identify B40 students in need of the service.
The salon is well-known among the Korean expatriate community in Segambut, while KSM has conducted various corporate social responsibility initiatives, including donating free milk to B40 children.
"Each year, they also sponsor cultural and sporting events which are organised for the benefit of the residents in this area," Yeoh said.
