to make epic changes in their own community."
 EPIC for UNITY, April 3rd & 4th 2010on Wednesday, February 24, 2010
at 12:30 AM  According to the Election Commission (EC) Deputy Chairman, Wan Ahmad Wan Omar in a report dated in January 2010, 4.39 million or some 28% of Malaysians over the age of 21 have yet to register as a voter. These are alarming statistics which we believe we have to do something about. To put things into perspective, the state of Selangor itself has an estimated 787,000 unregistered voters. The decisions we make today shape our tomorrow, individually as a community, and ultimately as a nation. That is why we are beginning another EPIC movement we call EPIC for Unity. This is where we want the people to start having faith & hope in this nation that we call HOME and love dearly. It is understandable that it has indeed been challenging to develop such positive feelings toward a nation that displays such a blatant disregard for ethics and the rapid decay of moral values in our community. We understand that we are disillusioned and feelings of helplessness have inhabited our minds and wills, causing us to stop striving for what we youths want. We want to believe that the power of ‘one’ is not simply overrated, just rarely challenged We want Positive Action not Negative Reactions We want to integrate not tolerate We want to stop complaining, and start acting We want our friends to stop migrating overseas and our parents to stop telling us to do so We want to be colour blind to our neighbours We want to stand up to be responsible for our collective future and believe that others want to as well We want all this but what are you willing to do to get it? We want to voice our choice the best and most civil way we know how in practicing our democratic right... By Voting However before that happens, you first have to register as a voter... Have you? If you have, GOOD ON YA! If not, don’t feel bad, because the time is now. We are on an EPIC Mission to gather 1,000,000 voters by the end of the year to mark the end of the first decade of this millennium.Yes, we said it! ONE MILLION! We believe that we will definitely hit and even exceed this number if you join us on this EPIC adventure to truly impact our community in an extraordinary way. We will be launching our year-long campaign which we believe belongs to all of us on the 3rd and 4th of April.

The GEL (Growing Emerging Leaders) team is mainly comprised of young adults aged between 18 - 26. GEL began its life in August 2006. It is a group of youth, gathering every Monday to study how to apply leadership and value based principles in their lives. GEL was started to address the needs of our youth when they integrate with the workforce. One of the principles we expound in our lessons is to be externally focused - i.e. to always give back to society / community. Resulting from that, the EPIC Project was born. EPIC (Extraordinary People Impacting Community) is a project that is predominantly focused on the plight of our Orang Asli and how we can assist to raise their standard of living in the long term. Whilst this toilet-building project is the first, it is our hope that with the awareness generated by this project, we will be able to garner support for the next project which will be to help the Orang Asli children integrate into government schools.
