On July 28, FMT Lifestyle featured the story of photographer Tinesh Sritharan, who was selected by the National Geographic Society to document the Great Migration at Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve.
As the assignment is unpaid, the article highlights Tinesh’s desire to raise funds for the trip, including flight tickets, food, accommodation, a local guide, and ground transportation.
He has since received a generous contribution from MIC, which shared in a Facebook post that Senator C Sivaraj had come across FMT’s article and brought it to the attention of party president SA Vigneswaran.
MIC has since presented Tinesh with a cheque of RM15,000.
“This is a proud moment. Tinesh’s journey reflects the resilience of our youth and MIC is honoured to help him carry the Malaysian spirit internationally,” Vigneswaran said during the cheque presentation.
