MYBANTU WEB APP – DATA UPDATE

myBantu map have recorded thousands of data that have been submitted by individuals in need. But it is believed that there are locations that received assistance but is not been edited (updated).

Therefore, the myBantu map will go through a data updating process to avoid duplication of assistance. Since this update process is done in batches, there is a possibility that there will be locations marked as “received assistance”, but it is otherwise. Double check is needed.

Individual who are in needs, make yourself visible by filling out the myBantu form https://arcg.is/1mK5zn0

NGO or individuals who wish to give a hand, you may refer to the myBantu map https://bit.ly/3qH04qu

For individuals in need, do check your location on the myBantu map. If your location has been marked as “received assistance”, do re-fill the myBantu form. Your new information will overwrite previous record.

MALAYSIA BANTU (myBantu Web-App)

MALAYSIA BANTU (myBantu Web-App)

In my busy schedule as an academician, I have managed to find myself time to create a web-app to help individuals affected by this COVID-19 pandemic (i.e: income, employment, etc.).

This web-apps show the locations of individuals who need such help. This information is filled in by the people themselves, and any NGO or individual can see the location where assistance can be extended. Update in real-time.

Starting with 10 data points, it has now reached more than 500 point locations that have been entered in the myBantu map (July 7th). Many NGOs have also managed to provide assistance at the locations on this myBantu map.

Sorry if the web-app is not “fancy”, I am not a web design expert but as long as the objective can be achieved, why not give it a try.

This web-app can be accessed using the myBantu map link https://bit.ly/3qH04qu. If you need or know anyone who needs help, fill out the individual information through this form https://arcg.is/1mK5zn0.

I pin this story here as my personal-event memory.

Hopefully it can benefit many.

Supervision (Ujang, 2021)

This picture describes precisely my relationship with my student. Its a race, if you wish to run fast, then I will do my best to win the race. But if I’m the only one trying to run fast, then it’s impossible for me to move forward with you.
