25歲的送貨司機卡魯爾·卡邁勒(Khairul Kamal)認爲兒子的健康和福祉是他最關心的問題，他希望自己所在的林地社區的一項新舉措能幫助像他這樣的年輕父母更好地了解情況。
M³@Town, which brings Malay/Muslim volunteers and community leaders together to support residents in areas of concern to them, was launched in its eighth town yesterday.
林地居民的三個重點領域是:財政和經濟准備;衛生防範;以及家庭和社區健康。
哈魯爾說，他最大的挑戰是管理兒子的健康，包括知道什麽食物對兒子有益。他說:“有這樣一個項目可以幫助我們學到更多。”
M³@Town started last year and involves collaboration between the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore, self-help group Mendaki and the People’s Association Malay Activity Executive Committees Council.
At last year’s National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called for more Malays to contribute to the community through M³, noting how collaboration between Malay/Muslim organisations and the Government can help to tackle challenges faced by the community.
M³@Town is also in Tampines, Bedok, Pasir Ris-Punggol, Nee Soon, Jurong, Chua Chu Kang and Marsiling-Yew Tee.
