Over 20 Choicee volunteers came together to clean up Pantai Redang, Sekinchan in a collaborative effort to protect the coastal environment. Organised by CEKL 106 and supported by the Sabak Bernam District Council, the beach cleanup initiative brought together individuals from diverse backgrounds. Armed with gloves, bags, and a shared commitment to the environment, volunteers worked tirelessly to remove over 100 kilogrammes of trash from the beach.

Encik Faisol, an officer from the Sabak Bernam District Council, commended the volunteers’ dedication and expressed the council’s support for future clean-up initiatives. He highlighted the importance of public awareness in combating beach pollution and protecting marine life. Following the successful clean-up, participants were rewarded with refreshments and tokens of appreciation. The event inspired a sense of community and environmental stewardship among the volunteers, with many expressing a desire for more such initiatives to engage the youth in preserving our coastal treasures.
