"Initiatif MELATI kepada komuniti" is a project initiated by the 1983 Sungai Siput Methodist Secondary School's Fifth Former. This is a project to assists school going orphans and poor family. 20 children irrespective of race, religion and colour were identified. They are from 3 Malay families, 2 Indian families and 2 Chinese families.
Each child was given 2 sets of school uniform, a pair of shoe and sock, a school bag and stationery. Monetary contributions collected from MELATI members and Persatuan Kebajikan & Komuniti Muhibbah, Sungai Siput identified the children. Stationery was generously contributed by a few good Samaritans from Ipoh. Thanks to Ms Mangaleshpary for her voluntarily and generous assistance.
MELATI stand for 'Methodist Lapan Tiga'. This group has been organizing reunion for the past two years. Almost all the 1983 fifth former has been located after lost contact for almost 30 years [since left school in 1983]. This is a truly 1 Malaysia group which was 'created' since 1973.
