PUTRAJAYA, March 6 (Bernama) — EcoKnights, an environmental non-profit organization received the “Inisiatif Sukarelawan Negara Taman” Award from Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad at the National Landscape Day 2019 (HLN 2019), held at Putrajaya Botany Garden. The award recognised EcoKnights for their outstanding volunteering efforts in restoring and rehabilitating degraded landscapes in the country.
“Winning this award was a pleasant surprise. It’s great to be recognised for our volunteer programs. I think it shows that small efforts such as this can grow to shape and encourage the general public to address environmental challenges by taking action. The real people we should be celebrating are our volunteers, as they are the ones who are making a difference. EcoKnights is merely a vehicle, and the real heroes are the young, the middle age and the senior citizens whom we will be celebrating with soon.” said Yasmin Rasyid, EcoKnights Founder and President.
