We are on TV !!
In 2006, Kechara Soup Kitchen first registered as an NGO. At that time, KSK was running a small-scale food distribution… with only 20 packets of food distributed every Saturday and Sunday. 6 years later, KSK is now distributing an average of 1500 packets of food every week!
Ever since KSK officially opened a soup kitchen in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, KSK members have doubled their efforts to help the homeless and urban poor. They then extended service to the community by aiding them to find jobs, shelter and replace their identification cards. It was not always easy, even now there are many obstacles still. However, as more people became aware of what we’re doing for the society, more people started to support our efforts both materially and volunteering.
The two videos at the bottom are features on KSK in Malaysia’s local television channel called NTV7. I am very happy that KSK has grown so much in just 6 years under the care and leadership of my long time study, Liaison Dato Ruby Khong. It was through her perseverance, and dedication that KSK is what it is today. I am confident that KSK will grow much bigger, expanding to many other countries to help many people in similar conditions as the ones we help on the streets of Kuala Lumpur.
With over 70,000 viewers, the TV station has decided to air the first documentary again!

KSK give hope to those that is forgotten by the community!
Rinpoche has set up KSK to really reach to a segment of people forgotten by society. It has brought many happy moments for the clients of KSK.
The lovely man who cooks vegetarian food for KSK, I have actually met him before at Taman Megah he was working at Ming Tien before many years back. And KSK is going global with activities in Jakarta and Shanghai as well.
KSK, whose goal is to provide food for the body, and peace to the mine – an on-going programe which have today reached out to thousands of the hungry poor and homeless of Kuala Lumpur. Many of these homeless poor continue to wander the streets of Kuala Lumpur in hunger and uncertainty of what tomorrow holds for them. KSK, a non-religious NGO whose international motto says “HUNGER KNOWS NO BARRIERS” serves vegeterian and halal food. KSK has officially on 20 August,2011, spread its wing to the beautiful island of Penang, with its opening of KSK Penang by the Honorable Chief Minister of Penang, YAP Lim Guan Eng, together with his wife Betty Chew and son. Syabas to Dato Ruby Khong, whose perserverance, dedication, hardwork and dynamic leadership has shown tremendous results, which our Rinpoche appreciates so much and is confident that KSK will grow and expand much bigger worldwide, to many countries around the globe to benefit more sentient beings.
I share your feelings Thierry, that there will be no need for any soup kitchen anymore and we become redundant. But for now, it is wishful thinking hence the battle must go on.
We are so grateful to NTV7 for producing clear and informative stories about our work. The media have been very supportive and is really encouraging for us all.
KSK has done remarkably well, under the guidance of Tsem Tulku Rinpoche and led by Dato’ Ruby Khong. KSK has become a name very well known in Kuala Lumpur. I simply hope that we would not need KSK at all, that’d be the goal for KSK, to make its need no more, that there would be no more people in dispair, homeless, hungry, lost… That compassion would fill the heart of everyone in the nation in a way that there would never be a homless anymore ever. In the meantime, may KSK do well in bridging towards that goal. A big bravo to KSK!
