The Lions Club of Subang Jaya proudly concluded its annual blood donation drive at AEON BiG Subang Jaya, held in partnership with the Pusat Darah Negara (PDN). Running from 10am to 4pm, the one‑day event achieved an encouraging 96 bags of blood collected, thanks to the generosity and strong turnout of Subang Jaya residents.
The blood donation drive was led by Organising Chairperson Lion Pei Wen, supported by a committed team of more than 30 Lions and Leos who managed registration, guided donors, giving our goodie bags and ensured seamless operations throughout the day.
Representatives from the National Blood Bank noted that blood reserves are currently at critical level and expressed appreciation for the strong turnout, which helped replenish much-needed supplies for hospitals and emergency care.
PDN reports that Malaysia needs an estimated 2,200 bags of blood daily, and all blood types — including rare groups like RhD negative are urgently required.
One blood donation can save at least three lives, as a single unit can be separated into red cells, platelets, and plasma. Donating blood also stimulates the body to produce fresh blood cells, helping donors feel healthier and more rejuvenated.
Community Heroes Stepping Forward
Among our heroes was 18‑year‑old first‑time donor Yap Juan Sun, who bravely overcame his fear of needles. Initially anxious, Yap later shared how proud and relieved he felt, knowing that his donation could help save lives. His courage reflects the spirit of the Subang Jaya community — stepping up when it matters most.
