Charity hero Uncle Kentang gets Commonwealth award - superadmin - 05-23-2021 PETALING JAYA: Kuan Chee Heng, known as Uncle Kentang by many who follow his acts of charity online, has been named to the Commonwealth Points of Light Award in recognition of his philanthropy. The award is given out weekly to a person from the Commonwealth in recognition of their community work, and Uncle Kentang will be only the fourth Malaysian to receive the honour since its inception in 2018. “This isn’t just for me, this is for all Malaysians,” he told FMT. “I’m just a representative, this award belongs to everyone, ‘Uncle Kentang’ isn’t just about what I do.” He received notice of the honour on Saturday night and will collect the certificate on June 12 at the British High Commissioner’s office in Kuala Lumpur. - More -
