00:00If we love Malaysia, if we love our children,
00:02we have to make a good combination,
00:04we have to help each other,
00:06give full love.
00:07Then, that is the platform for our children.
00:19Hi everyone, I'm Dennis Kumar.
00:21I'm here with the Malaysian real hero, Uncle Kentang.
00:24Okay, we want to have a chat with Uncle.
00:26First, I want to ask,
00:27a lot of people told me that you used to sell potatoes.
00:30Is that true?
00:32No, I used to sell flowers.
00:34So, how did this name come about?
00:36When I was doing food assistance,
00:39I saw that the boy was eating with soy sauce.
00:41So, I felt like I was in the wrong.
00:44Then, I asked my doctor's friend what his prescription was.
00:48He said to give him potatoes.
00:50So, when I gave him potatoes, I didn't give his name.
00:52It's not important for people to know me.
00:54So, I gave him potatoes,
00:55but he didn't know my name, so he called me Kentang.
00:58I came from a very poor family.
01:00I was the son of a rubber tapper.
01:02I didn't have a school, I didn't have shoes,
01:03I didn't have a house.
01:05When did Uncle Kentang's legacy start?
01:07How did it happen?
01:09Actually, I started a very long time ago.
01:12Helping people in the area of Bukit Bintang.
01:17But when I moved to Pucong,
01:19there were some friends who said their members were struggling.
01:24So, I started to help a little.
01:26I helped with food packages.
01:30We sent food packages every month.
01:31So, from there, we grew.
01:33We have about 200 people.
01:34There are about 140 volunteers.
01:37There are 60 of us who work regularly.
01:40As I walk along this path,
01:43I see a lot of love.
01:46It doesn't matter if it's a race, religion, or politics.
01:49We are actually one Malaysia.
01:52When we are in trouble,
01:54Malaysians will come together to contribute.
01:58We have a Malaysian Hero Programme.
02:00We ask Malaysians to donate RM10 a month
02:04so that we have the continuity to run the ambulance
02:07and run all the programmes.
02:09What are the lists of help that you can get from the government?
02:12First, free taxis.
02:13If the driver doesn't have money,
02:15he can call us and we will send him.
02:16We also have free buses.
02:18Then, we have free ambulances.
02:20We have free funeral vans.
02:22It doesn't matter if it's a race.
02:24We also have a RM1 house.
02:26If you come from far away and don't have money,
02:29you can come and stay for RM1 for one night.
02:32We have everything, including food and drinks.
02:35Then, we have an elderly home.
02:38And then, of course, we have free cakes.
02:41For the poor children who want to celebrate Eid al-Fitr.
02:45And many more.
02:47If you love Malaysia, if you love your children,
02:50we have to make a good combination.
02:51We have to help each other.
02:53We have to show our full love.
02:55Then, that is the platform for our children.
02:59How can they call?
03:00How to access, how to get the help?
03:03They can call our hotline,
03:04038 065 666.
03:07Or they can call me directly or contact me.
03:09We have a hotline for food assistance.
03:11They can also come to the office.
03:13We will give you a grant
03:15to come and ask for help from us.
03:17For me, if we want to help people,
03:19let them be happy.
03:21I feel really happy today
03:23to meet our Malaysian superhero, Uncle Kentang.
03:26I'm really excited to see
03:27the things he does,
03:28how he helps people.
03:30It's from the heart.
03:31I hope one day, I can be like him
03:33and more people can follow his footsteps.
03:36And it will make Malaysia great.
03:37This is Malaysia.
03:39This is us.
