As Covid-19 continues upending lives and economies, health-risk reduction and management have become acutely necessary for Good Health and Wellbeing - the third in the series of seventeen United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
Management and Science University (MSU) being an institution internationally recognized for social entrepreneurship and impact on the UNSDGs, steeped in the Giving and Grateful culture cultivated by MSU Foundation, its community felt there had to be something it could still do despite the social distancing.
With aims of delivering UNSDGs' Goal 3 along with Goal 11 for Sustainable Cities and Communities, MSU relieves a Covid-19 emergency with the MSU Protective Clothing for Medical Frontliners (M-ProteC) project.
While it holds a candle to the University's Top-10-in-Malaysia THE Impact Rankings 2020, M-ProteC is more importantly an investment into public service for a 21st-century community in crisis.
The MSU initiative simultaneously meeting Goal 17 for Partnerships ensures adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) for medical frontliners in their time of need against a nationwide shortage.
Taking the reign of the project's multiple partnerships including consultation with MSU's International Medical School (IMS) was MSU's School of Hospitality and Creative Arts (SHCA), who tapped into the human capital potential of the University community staying home in and around Shah Alam during the nationwide MCO (Movement Control Order) in Malaysia.
The award-winning School of Management and Science University (MSU) – ranked as Malaysia’s #2 and World’s #28 in Hospitality and Leisure Management – signed up academic members, staff, students, and alumni alike as volunteers, and led M-ProteC to a cutting start with the support of MSU Foundation.
Three thousand PPE sets targeted, comprising protective suit and face shield, each volunteer was tasked with 360 pieces of fabric to cut. Along with templates and tools, step-by-step instructional videos by SHCA guided the cutting out of front and back bodies and sleeves for the protective gown, belt for the gown, head cover, and shoe cover with lace.
The mammoth 360-challenge was met with #KitaJagaKita camaraderie. Some roped in family members for the endeavour, and one provided TikTok entertainment.

The cutting was subsequently rounded up, for sewing by SHCA’s current students as well as alumni of Bachelor in Fashion Design with Marketing (Hons) and Diploma in Fashion Design, at the School's own well-equipped campus workroom.
The sewed up suits were then distributed to hospitals in and around Shah Alam as well as the Klang Valley; the Shah Alam Hospital (HSA), the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, the Sungai Buloh Hospital, the Kajang Hospital, the Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital (HTAR) in Klang, and the MSU Medical Centre (MSUMC) Private Specialist Hospital in Shah Alam.
Accompanying the distribution to HTAR, HSA, and MSUMC, MSU Foundation Chairman and MSU President Professor Tan Sri Dato’ Wira Dr Mohd Shukri Ab Yajid expressed his hope for the MSU contribution to ease the protection and safety needs of medical workers battling the Covid-19 pandemic.
