Breaking Cycles, Rebuilding Lives
KOMITED Malaysia, with the support of Yayasan Sime Darby (YSD), is Malaysia’s only one-stop drug intervention centre, offering a holistic recovery that transforms former clients into advocates of change. Over the past decade, 1,622 individuals—1,231 men, 280 women, and 111 children—have found refuge, safety and purpose through KOMITED’s shelter homes, proving the power of community-based rehabilitation.
“Every person who walks through our doors carries the weight of rejection. But when they leave, they carry the light of possibility of successful reintegration into their communities.”
En. Khalid Hashim
Founder of KOMITED Malaysia
A former drug addict turned advocate, Khalid leads KOMITED with lived experience. The NGO has successfully defied global recovery odds by achieving a 70% sobriety rate among programme graduates. Today, it supports around 660 registered clients monthly through five shelter homes, two drop-in centres, and a dedicated team of 40 caregivers.
With YSD’s RM800,000 contribution covering 28% of its annual operational costs, KOMITED has expanded facilities, strengthened its services, and sustained operations during challenging times.
KOMITED’s inclusive approach reaches those often left out of traditional support systems. While an average of 660 clients are registered and supported each month, its current daily caseload comprises 212 men, 335 individuals from vulnerable groups and 19 children receiving daily care. From June 2021 to May 2025, KOMITED has delivered 395,279 services, addressing both urgent needs and long-term recovery goals.
Driving a sustainable cycle of empowerment and dismantling societal stigma are at the heart of KOMITED’s mission. Over the years:
- 533 individuals regained legal documentation
- 66 clients reunited with their families
- 50% of vocational training graduates secured jobs within six months.
- 348 former clients are now staff or volunteers
- 2,532 community members have joined the Friends of KOMITED advocacy network
Prevention efforts have also scaled significantly—reaching 54,000 students and 18,000 inmates nationwide—while harm reduction services have supported 6,600 clients in five districts across Pahang.
KOMITED’s story proves that uplifting those most often left behind can multiply impact—healing lives, reconnecting families, and building stronger, more resilient communities.
Bringing Quality Healthcare Closer to Johor
Launched in March 2023 with RM1.8 million support from Yayasan Sime Darby (YSD), Poliklinik Primer Sejahtera (PoPS) is addressing healthcare gaps at Malaysia’s first multi-university education hub in Johor. To date, the facility has served 10,197 individuals—including students, lecturers, and staff from Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (IIUM), Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) and Politeknik Tun Syed Nasir. For the surrounding local communities and 10 Orang Asli villages, PoPS has reduced the need for long, costly trips for medical care by providing reliable, accessible services close to home.
PoPS provides six core services—primary care, pharmacy, laboratory, emergency, community outreach and soon, dental services. A dental clinic is expected to be operational following renewed engagement with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and support from IIUM. It is also equipped with the IIUM Medical Information System (IMIS), which automates patient records, streamlines queues, and distinguishes between free and subsidised treatment. “The system hasn’t just improved efficiency,” says Dr. Muhammad Hazim Azfar, PoPS Technology Lead. “It has created equity while maintaining sustainability.”
Outreach efforts have grown significantly, with 20 outreach programmes reaching 2,527 individuals in rural communities, including 755 Orang Asli. A focused intervention in Kampung Orang Asli Punan recorded a 40% improvement in health literacy within five months, with families adopting better hygiene practices and seeking specialist care for the first time.
To ensure long-term sustainability, the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) has committed to funding personnel salaries and operational expenditure, supporting consistent professional healthcare delivery. Additionally, 255 volunteers, including 99 students, have contributed to clinic operations and outreach activities, gaining first-hand experience in delivering healthcare to underserved communities.
This collaborative effort among YSD, IIUM, MOHE, and Sime Darby Property, PoPS exemplifies how public-private partnership, policy support, and community engagement can transform healthcare access for underserved populations.
