On Saturday, 12th of January 2019 our PK participants learned about online businesses. The morning started with a session on how to promote your products for free, led by Grub Cycle.
Grub Cycle is a Social Enterprise aiming to place the lost value back onto food as something that should be eaten and not thrown away. Through Grub Cycle, the team is raising awareness of food waste by making surplus food accessible to buy at a bargain price.
The afternoon session focused on the benefits of bringing your business to an online platform and was led by MyBazaar who also gave our participants access to their platform. Since the launch of its Malaysian operations, MyBazar has quickly established itself as the leading digital platform for local merchants and small entrepreneurs in Malaysia, blending a unique mix of capacity development, social shopping and e-commerce.
Simultaneously, the Program Kembara Kanak-Kanak (PKKK) class had an incredible turn out involving 29 children. Various activities were carried out to instil a sense of responsibilities and team building habit amongst the children. They returned home with plenty of goodies and new knowledge.
Taylor’s Community hopes that the programmes has taught and impacted the participants in more ways than expected. We hope that they are able to overcome their challenges in life in order to have a better future.
Join us today to experience a great sense of accomplishment from volunteering!

Last Saturday, before class started, one of the PK Participants, Ahmad Sahmulaili bin Ahmad Bastoni, surprised the other 70 participants with breakfast, using some of his profit gained from The Showcase Bazaar!
The morning started off with an introduction to Touch ‘n Go’s latest e-wallet app. Touch ‘n Go launched this app to not only promote the cashless, e-wallet concept but also to help SME merchants earn from the platform. Platforms like these help the PPR entrepreneurs a lot to promote their product and services to a wider market.

The Showcase Bazaar was successfully held for 3 days from 28 November to 30 November 2018 at Ruang Legar CIMB, Menara Bumiputera Commerce, Kuala Lumpur. 54 participants from PPR Sri Pantai, Kg. Limau, Gombak Setia, Sungei Besi, Kg. Muhhibah and Lembah Subang opened a booth as vendors for the event. The types of products and services showcased included food and beverages, tailoring service and massage service.
The objective of the bazaar was to allow the participants of Program Keusahawanan (PK) Taylor’s- CIMB Islamic 2.0 to implement the various knowledge and skills they have obtained during the PK University classes. For example, one of the classes taught the participants to create their own marketing collaterals. They then printed them out as posters, buntings and banners for the bazaar.

The purpose of this topic was to prepare the participants to be ready for the various challenges that they might face during the bazaar and in their businesses. The talk was followed by Rara, an F&B entrepreneur herself touching on how to take these challenges as opportunities instead.

“Marketing’s job is never done. It’s about perpetual motion. We must continue to innovate every day.” – Beth Comstock
Last Saturday was the 6th Program Keusahawanan (PK)* University and was aimed to prepare the Program Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) participants for an upcoming Bazaar that will be happening on the 28-30th of November in Ruang Legar CIMB KL.
HomemadeMarket, an online marketplace in Malaysia built exclusively for wholesome homemade flavor, was invited to give a workshop about the importance of marketing and its strategy. One of the insights gathered was that the PPR participants do not understand the value of their skills and expertise. Their lack of self-confidence disallows them to set an appropriate pricing for their products and services. Many of them struggle to identify their unique value proposition for their businesses.
