Kuala Lumpur based Lite FM’s Steve and Shaz Give Back Campaign came to the aid of a needy Malaysian, but this time, it was a listener who extended the lifeline to a fellow citizen.

When hosts Steve and Shaz realised Lite FM had additional contest money of RM 5000 to giveaway, they conducted a standalone contest involving simple general knowledge questions.

It was won by Ranjinath from AlorSetar.

Steve and Shaz then asked Ranjinath if he was willing to give up his prize money for Thava, a 41-year-old from Penang who was losing his eyesight due to glaucoma and struggling to make ends meet.

Ranjinath was given the weekend to think about it.

With over two days of deep thoughts and considerations, he agreed to give his prize money to Thava.

What Ranjinath did not know at that time was that he was also receiving RM 5000 from Lite FM as an appreciation of his kindness and selflessness.

According to Aaron Pinto, Network Content Manager of Lite FM, Sinar FM and THR Gegar, “Lite FM has always stood by giving back to the community and reward our listeners. It’s amazing to see Ranjinath sacrifice the money he won and give it to Thava who desperately need it to sustain his life.”
