Persatuan Mobiliti would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to CIMB – Group Technology for their generous donation of RM8,880. The contribution was raised through an internal crowdfunding campaign held in conjunction with a cycling event in May, where two of their team members, William Tan Kuan Seng and Chee Pooi Ling, undertook an incredible 444km coast-to-coast journey, aiming to raise RM10 for every kilometer cycled.
The mock cheque handover ceremony took place this morning, 2 July 2025, at the Persatuan Mobiliti office.
Date: June 4, 2025 (Facebook post) Semalam saya menziarahi Persatuan Mobiliti Selangor dan Kuala Lumpur — sebuah organisasi kecil yang menjalankan tugas besar.
Sejak tahun 2003, persatuan ini menyediakan pengangkutan khas untuk warga emas dan OKU berkerusi roda, khususnya ke hospital dan pusat rawatan. Perkhidmatan mereka amat penting, terutama bagi mereka yang tiada akses kepada kenderaan yang mesra OKU.
Hari ini, lebih 1,300 warga Selangor dan Kuala Lumpur bergantung kepada mereka. Setiap bulan, mereka menerima sekitar 300 permintaan — namun, hanya mampu memenuhi separuh sahaja kerana mereka hanya ada lima buah van.
Ada pengguna yang menjalani dialisis tiga kali seminggu, tetapi hanya mampu menaiki van ini sekali seminggu sahaja. Itu pun selepas penyusunan jadual yang sangat padat — semalam saya lihat sendiri, seorang pemandu perlu bergerak dari PJ ke Ampang, kemudian ke Klang, semua dalam satu hari.
Mereka hanya mengenakan caj RM15 untuk pengguna dan RM6 untuk penjaga — walaupun ini hanyalah 15% daripada kos sebenar perjalanan. Selebihnya ditampung oleh sumbangan dan tajaan.
Saya amat tersentuh melihat dedikasi mereka. Ini bukan sekadar khidmat pengangkutan — ini adalah tentang maruah, akses, dan keadilan.
Insya-Allah, Kerajaan Negeri Selangor akan meneliti dan mencari ruang untuk membantu mereka, selari dengan hasrat kita untuk membina sebuah Negeri Penyayang yang benar-benar mengambil berat terhadap semua lapisan masyarakat.

A CIVIL society group is urging Putrajaya to give them the approval to transport the elderly and wheelchair-bound to hospitals and vaccination centres as they are being inundated with calls for help.
Persatuan Mobiliti Selangor dan Kuala Lumpur, which is registered with the Registrar of Societies, has had to turn down 241 bookings this year as they do not have the approval for interstate travel during the lockdown.
Its president Dawamani D. Ponnusamy told The Malaysian Insight the group was established to provide transport for wheelchair dependents and the elderly for their medical check-ups, and recently for vaccination appointments.
He said 98% of their customers have appointments at government hospitals, where they have to make sure the patient arrives on time.
“Personally I feel the visits to the government hospitals are very important because if they miss it, they have to get back on the waiting list, which could be very long,” Dawamani said.
The association has been operating since January 2002 to provide “door-to-door” transport service for wheelchair users.
Its operations manager Earnest Jude said the authorities have been giving them a hard time in getting permission to operate during the lockdown to curb Covid-19 infections.
“Each police station is giving us different answers when we go to them for help. Some say we can operate, others say we can’t,” Earnest said.
“We even wrote to the International Trade and Ministry Ministry but our application was rejected without any reason given.”

He said the association recently received approval from the National Disaster Management Agency to operate in Selangor but the issue is most of their patients have appointments in the capital.
“This is the main reason why we have to reject almost 20 to 30 calls a day as there is nothing much we can do on our side to resolve this issue,” he said.
Earnest said they would charge the customer RM12 for each ride but if the user is not able to pay for it, the association will waive the fee.
The organisation currently has six vehicles with four drivers who are operating from Monday to Friday.
Several sub-districts and localities in Selangor and Kuala Lumpur have been placed under the enhanced movement-control order for two weeks from July 3 to 16 where high infection rates are still prevalent.
The country recorded 7,654 new Covid-19 cases today, its highest number in 31 days.
Selangor continued to account for the bulk of the cases with 3,260, followed by Kuala Lumpur with 1,550. – July 6, 2021.
