We aim to proactively and continuously promote and educate the issue of children's safety to the public. Children are the future of our nation and they are "vulnerable'. They rely on adults to protect them from any form of harm including without limitation to kidnapping.
Hence, it is our hope that this little effort will be able to instill the continuous sense of safety for children among the public.
Let's do this together. Help us to help others in creating the awareness. Spread the message to others. Prevention is better than cure.

(A ride with the hope that no more children will go
missing)

As to why MfMC is doing the ride, Mohd Khafiz said, "this is our
contribution to the society by doing what we love to do i.e. cycling. It is no
longer just about our passion in cycling but more importantly how we can
benefit the society from our activities. Cases of missing children repeatedly
occurs and what need to be done is to continuously creating awareness on
children's safety issue, which through our observation is what the society is
lacking of. Hence, MfMC is here trying to address the issue".

Di #MfMC, kami telah sepakat untuk membuat satu petisyen berkaitan dengan isu keselamatan kanak-kanak. Berpegang kepada tema "Dari Kita Kepada Kita Untuk Anak-anak Kita", petisyen ini bertujuan untuk terus menyedarkan ibubapa dan masyarakat bahawa keselamatan anak-anak adalah tanggungjawab kita bersama. Petisyen ini ditujukan kepada ibubapa dan masyarakat di luar sana dan bukan kepada mana-mana pertubuhan, organisasi mahupun kerajaan.
Oleh itu, kami mahu mengumpul sebanyak mungkin tandatangan dan sokongan daripada semua orang untuk petisyen ini.

Petiton - Children's Safety is Our Mutual Responsibility
We at #MfMC has decided to make a petition on the issue of children's safety. Holding on the theme of "From Us To Us For Our Children",
