COVER

The Chairman of Lion-Parkson Foundation, Puan SriChelsia Cheng and her daughter, Natalie Chengstaged a spectacular bellydance performance at the

Million Dollar Dance Grand Finale Charity Show in PavilionKuala Lumpur on 8 February 2009.

Puan Sri had organised the Charity Show to raise funds tohelp build a centre for the handicapped and mentallydisabled children. The Charity Show has more thanachieved its target of RM1 million with the Lion Groupchipping in by donating a 4-acre piece of land in Selangornear Banting to build the centre.

Prior to the event, Puan Sri had produced a series of 11

TV episodes entitled “Lessons for Dreams to Life” and

broadcasted on TVB8. Each episode showcased a

business organisation as sponsor and managed to raise

a total of RM130,000.

As it is anticipated that the centre and facilities for the

special children will incur more than RM1 million, Puan

Sri intends to continue to raise the funds needed and urges

everyone to join her in making the centre a reality.

Raising funds for charity is not easy even in the best of times. Getting people topart with their money, even for charity requires a strong conviction, lots ofpatience and a positive attitude. It is easier when the economy is doing well;

businesses are flourishing and people are gainfully employed. In times of economicdownturn however, when orders are less, money is scarce and cashflow is tight,fundraising becomes a real challenge. Yet it is in such difficult times that the poorand less fortunate who depend greatly on charity need our help even more.

When Puan Sri Chelsia Cheng, the Chairman of Lion-Parkson Foundation firstmooted the idea of raising funds to help build a home for the handicapped andmentally disabled children in the early part of 2008, our economy was chuggingalong nicely. As her idea took hold and preparations for a fundraising drive gotunderway, the world economy tumbled and derailed the local economy as well.Despite this, the fundraising via a series of TV episodes and the Grand Finale CharityShow staged by Puan Sri more than achieved its target of RM1 million. It is due to thekind support and contributions of all donors, sponsors, friends and associates; andthe determination and tireless energy of Puan Sri that this was made possible.

With the tough economic situation expected to continue, our business operationsmust find ways to stay on course through cost-cutting; improvements in productivity,delivery and customer service; and inventory and cashflow management. Everyonemust be vigilant in reducing cost and wastage, and work hard as well as smart.

While no one can predict how soon the economy will recover, we must ensure thatwe are prepared and ready to seize the opportunities when the time comes. Wecan take heart in the words of John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937), acclaimed formodernising the oil industry and philanthropist who said during the GreatDepression of the 1930’s, “These are days when many are discouraged. In the 93years of my life, depressions have come and gone. Prosperity has always returnedand will again.”

Mengumpul dana untuk tujuan amal bukanlah satu perkara mudah walapun di masasenang. Untuk membuatkan seseorang itu menghulur sumbangan memerlukankeyakinan, kesabaran dan sikap positif. Ianya lebih mudah dilakukan dalam

keadaan ekonomi yang pesat, ketika peniagaan berkembang maju dan orang ramaimempunyai pendapatan yang baik. Bagaimanapun, semasa kegawatan ekonomi, apabilapesanan berkurangan, kedudukan kewangan dan aliran perbelanjaan agak sukar, usahamengumpul dana benar-benar mencabar. Namun, ketika masa sukar inilah golongankurang bernasib baik yang bergantung kepada sumbangan dan ehsan amat memerlukanbantuan.

Apabila Puan Sri Chelsia Cheng, Pengerusi Yayasan Lion-Parkson mula-mulamengutarakan ide untuk mengumpul dana bagi membina rumah untuk kanak-kanak cacatdan bermasalah mental, di awal 2008, kedudukan ekonomi kita masih kukuh. Ketika idebeliau dilaksanakan dan persediaan untuk mengumpul dana berjalan, ekonomi sejagatmerudum dan turut menjejaskan ekonomi negara. Namun demikian, usaha mengumpuldana menerusi beberapa episod siri TV dan majlis penutup Pertunjukan Amal yangdijayakan oleh Puan Sri telah mengumpul lebih daripada sasaran RM 1 juta. Ianyamenjadi kenyataan atas sokongan dan sumbangan para dermawan, penaja, rakan dansekutu perniagaan; serta kecekalan dan kegigihan Puan Sri sendiri.

Dengan situasi ekonomi yang dijangka akan terus mencabar, kesemua operasi perniagaankita mesti mencari jalan untuk kekal bertahan sama ada dengan mengurangkan kos;membaik pulih produktiviti, penyerahan dan perkhidmatan pelanggan; serta pengurusaninventori dan aliran tunai.Kita mesti sama-sama berusaha dengan gigih untukmengurangkan kos dan pembaziran secara bijaksana.

Tiada seorangpun yang boleh meramalkan bilakah ekonomi akan pulih, jadi kitaseharusnya sentiasa bersedia untuk merebut peluang-peluang yang muncul di depan mata.Kita boleh mengambil iktibar daripada kata-kata seorang yang disanjungi keranasumbangannya terhadap industri minyak moden dan juga dermawan, John D. Rockfeller(1839 - 1937) semasa Zaman Kemelesetan 1930an dahulu, “Ini merupakan hari-hari dimana ramai orang yang berputus asa. Sepanjang 93 tahun tahun usia saya, kemelesetandatang dan pergi. Kemakmuran sentiasa datang kembali dan pasti menjelma lagi”.
