PETALING JAYA: A fashion mask made by Komuniti Tukang Jahit Malaysia (KTJ) raised RM16,000 for charity, possibly creating a record for the most expensive face mask ever sold here.
Dubbed the Glam Mask, it sports sequins and beads and took several days to make, said KTJ CEO Yap Sue Yii.“We took part in this initiative to help those who are in need, including social enterprises, during the Covid-19 pandemic through our participation in the Social Enterprise Sustainability Initiative , ” she said.
“This initiative is a true reflection of our Malaysian spirit as it allowed us to forge meaningful partnerships to solve social issues. “By coming together, these partners have only one goal in mind – to provide aid to the communities in need, ” said Yap.However, the social enterprise that is reliant on making hand-sewn corporate gifts was badly hit in the early days of the pandemic when orders dried up.
“It was a blessing in disguise at it forced us to reform our fundamentals overnight. If we don’t pivot in time, we die, ” said Yap.
