A cosplay group in Kelantan known as Geng Cosplay Kelate (GCK) has members dressing up as their favourite superheroes to spread kindness during the pandemic.
According to their Facebook page, the cosplay group often makes special appearances at birthday parties, charity events, weddings and schools.
While the pandemic has put a stop to their social events, one of GCK members, David Koh, told Harian Metro that it hasn’t stopped his desire to carry out his own charity work.
He first started a food bank outside his home with just a rack of food. Through his own initiative, it opened the doors for others to chip in and help those who are struggling too.
The cosplay group prioritises the elderly and those who have limited mobility because they have young children at home.
The rakyat may have seen GCK members going around to hand out food aid and more. Based on their Facebook post, one of their members dressed as a Red Ranger collaborated with AEON to hand out food aid.
Another member dressed as Kamen Rider to visit the 1 Kelantan Food Bank at the popular local breakfast location, Kopitiam Kita.
A Black Ranger stopped by the Ronald McDonald House at Universiti Sains Malaysia Hospital to drop off some food too.
“I don’t move alone because the support and contributions from the public also help in making this initiative a success. Thank you to those who helped and this effort is in line with the concept of ‘Kita Jaga Kita' during the pandemic,” Koh told Harian Metro.
It was Koh himself in the viral video which showed Kamen Rider getting his second vaccination dose at the Balai Health Clinic PPV.
After receiving his vaccination jab, he took the opportunity to hand out face masks to volunteers and medical officials too.
“They welcomed my arrival and I was happy to be able to bring joy while receiving the vaccine injection,“ he said.
