Beautiful Gate Foundation Kampar Centre 金保美门残障教育中心


In the midst of our country’s fast paced development in knowledge-based economy, a group of disabled people is marginalized and they are unable to integrate into the mainstream of society today. Beautiful Gate Foundation Kampar Centre which plays their role as educational centre for the disabled was set-up in 1999. Its purpose is to provide educational opportunity for those marginalized disabled people especially those who have been deprived of an opportunity to education, and those of the younger age group.

Beautiful Gate Foundation Kampar Centre aspires to provide the disabled an opportunity in education and enhancement of their living skills, so that they can lead an independent and meaningful life in the future.The training program includes Languages Classes, Science & Mathematic, Computer Knowledge, Living Skills training, Hygiene & Moral Education, Geography & History, and Bible knowledge.

当国家正积极朝向知识经济发展的同时,一群因缺乏适合教育系统与友善的硬体设备而无法与时并进的残障同胞被抛在后头,注定了他们日后无法融入社会的悲哀。有鉴于此,我们在1999年假金保设立美门残障教育中心,以关怀从小失学的残障同胞。

金保美门残障教育中心肩负着让残障人士接受教育、提升残障人士知识和谋生能力的使命。所提供的培训包括语文课程、科学数学、电脑知识、生活技能、卫生道德、地理历史以及圣经常识。

Expansion Project 扩建计划


With the increase of students in Beautiful Gate Kampar, we started the expansion project so that more students can be enrolled to obtain knowledge and education.

The project started from year 2007. The building construction which cost about RM 350,000 had just completed, with increase of 2 classrooms, 11 bedrooms, 1 computer room,1 recreational room, 1 kitchen, 1 dinning hall and 1 office cum teachers’ room. We are now still short of RM 150,000 for interior renovation and equipments.

We hope to receive your support and contribution to provide an opportunity to the disabled so that they can have a chance for education and be integrated back to the society in the future.

由于残障学员与日俱增,只能容纳15人的金保美门中心日愈拥挤,我们因此于2007年尾开始进行扩建工程,以便接收更多的残障学员。 此项耗资马币35万的工程为金保美门中心增加了2 间课室、11间房间、1间电脑室、一间休闲与运动室、1间厨房、1间饭厅和1间办公与教师室。目前,我们还需要马币15万以进行室内装修与购置室内设备和教育器材等,希望公众人士慷慨解囊,帮助残障同胞拥有受教育的机会,以便他日能融入社会,自立立人。

关怀与分享 Care & Share


美门残障关怀基金会自成立以来,致力秉持着提升残障人士的生活素质和协助他们融入社会的方向而努力。但由于残障人士多来自贫穷家庭及面对肢残所造成的限制,须要各项残障辅助器材才能独立生活。承蒙社会热心人士的慷慨支持并在拿订巴杜卡周美芬的见证下,我们共送出了10部轻型轮椅、3辆电单车和一辆电动轮椅给有需要的残障同胞。目前,我们尚需35部轻型轮椅、13部电动轮椅、和23辆电单车。恳请热心人士继续给予我们支持,协助更多有需要的残障朋友。

Since the establishment of Beautiful Gate Foundation, its effort is to enhance the quality life for the disabled and to help them to be integrated into the society. However, most of the disabled came from poor family and their mobility limitations was their major obstacle. Therefore, various aid equipments are needed to enable them to live independently.

With the generous support from the community and witness by Y.B. Datin Paduka Chew Mei Fun, we were able to provide 10 light weight wheelchair,3 motorcycles and 1 motorized wheelchair for their usage. We still in need of 35 light weight wheelchairs, 13 motorized wheelchairs and 23 three wheeled motorcycles.

自立生活技巧训练课程 Independent Living Programme


自立生活技巧训练课程(ILSTP)宗旨乃是协助残障人士在思想上、情感上及生活上自立。学员可从他们的亲身经历中学习面对困境, 迈向所设订的目标,处理自身的安全、个人卫生、烹煮、清洁、购物、办理户口来往、财政预算和社交活动。今年4月,我们分别在八打灵美门中心及甲洞美门中心开始推动课程,共有40个残障学员从中受惠。

参与课程的其中一位学员杨居顺先生,今年 44岁, 患上贝克尔肌肉萎缩症(肌肉退化疾病)。自从残障过后, 他被家人安置在疗养院,一切生活起居皆需依靠他人来协助。 在疗养院里, 他失去生命的自由和选择,这让他承受巨大压力和失望, 以致他对自己失去信心,对事业和前途也渐失去了盼望。

当他参加了自立生活技巧课程后, 他开始改变了思想观念和建立起自己的生命价值。 他学会了必要的知识和生活技能, 使他恢复自尊和自力。对于他,自立生活不再是遥不可及的事,因他已拥有一个实现梦想的机会,并于6月份毅然决定离开疗养院,投入自立生活的旅程。

The Independence Living Skill Training Program (ILSTP) is aimed to encourage disabled person on their mindset, relation and living to be independent and to help them live more positively. Participants gain real-life experience with such issues such as goals setting, safety, hygiene, cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, banking, budgeting and socialization. In April, this training program was also conducted in our centre at Petaling Jaya and Kepong. There are currently forty disabled people benefited from such wonderful program.


Yeoh Kee Soon, 44 years old, was suffering from Becker Muscular Dystrophy (a muscles degeneration disease). After the onset of his disability, he was placed in a nursing home as he required assistants. In the nursing home, he had lack of freedom and do not have any choice for his daily needs. It caused tremendous pressure and frustration for him, it seem that he has lost his confident, hope, career and future.

However, when he participated in the independent living program, he began to change his mindset and established self worthiness of life. He gained necessary knowledge and skills, enabling him to regain self-esteem and self-reliance. He has an opportunity to make his dreams a reality; to him living an independent life is no longer difficult.
