KOTA KINABALU: Junior Chamber International (JCI) Luyang will champion two flagship initiatives as part of its commitment to leading with empathy.
Incoming president Cloudine Padua said the initiatives include Bene Chain Reaction, a ripple-effect movement grounded in kindness and action, designed to inspire collective social responsibility both locally and internationally.
The second initiative, Love in Action Four Series, is a year-long movement celebrating compassion, creativity, and connection.
She outlined these under the theme “Clover-Bloom with Courage” for the 2025–2026 term, after taking over the helm from outgoing president Bryan Chang Ja Jien.
The handover was witnessed by Deputy Plantation and Commodities Minister Datuk Chan Foong Hin at a restaurant here.
The theme symbolises a new era of leadership rooted in purpose, sustainability, and youth empowerment.
Cloudine reflected on her journey from attending a cleanup event in 2023 to now leading the chapter.
“As leaders, we need a heart to care not just a mind to plan or hands to work, but a heart that truly cares.
“Leadership without heart is just management. But with heart, it becomes transformation,” she said.
Through four impactful moments, the Love in Action series will celebrate community and creativity, promote literacy and sustainability, uplift unheard voices, and remind us that kindness still matters, she added. – Wu Vuide
