Projek57 A Movement of Hope

 

Projek57 A Movement of Hope is to inspire the nation to return to its founding values of 1957 - tolerance, diversity, progressiveness and unity, which also forms the buildings blocks of our nation. There are many reasons why we love our country as we celebrate Merdeka.

Collin Swee and Syed Sadiq Albar, the Projek57 co-founders are passionate about making this mission a movement of hope. Projek57 is a Malaysian social enterprise aims to sell 1,000,000 tee shirts as part of its mission.

Their flagship tee shirt features the iconics Merdeka symbols of the nation’s first Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman and the year the country gained its independence. The design embodies the spirit of 1957 and expresses it in a modern and vibrant manner.

We can purchase the tee shirts online at www.projek57.com and through community and other events that will be held during the year. 40% of the profits from Projek57 will be channeled towards empowering Malaysians who are less fortunate. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the T-shirts at Atria on that day will go towards Yayasan Sunbeams Home and Rumah Kebajikan Rukaiyah.

In conjunction with the theme sehati sejiwa for this year’s National Day celebrations, Atria Shopping Gallery (Atria) collaborated with Projek57 in its mission to instill hope and the spirit of Merdeka among Malaysians from all walks of life.

Atria also organized a series of exciting activities and performances to celebrate the National Day. This included an art contest themed We are Malaysia with art tips shared by Allen Tan of TrueFACES; Jom Kawan session and congkak game; cool music by GTXperiment; Drum Circles workshop as well as a Zumba dance performance by instructors from Australia and Malaysia. There was also a flash mob by KDU students and performances of songs from the 60s to end the celebrations.
