"We Serve Voluntarily"




As your information, we are Red Crescent, but we mostly call ourselves as VAD-57.

"why we are Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD)”.

Individuals who join the Malaysian Red Crescent are grouped into three movement; Link, Youth and the Voluntary Aid Detachment. Links and Youth movement are for primary and secondary school members. While the Voluntary Aid Detachment is for students in tertiary institution just like us. The activities of VAD is more mature such public duties & organising events.


In summary, if an above 18 year old individual joins the Malaysian Red Crescent, he/she will be placed in a Voluntary Aid Detachment. "57" means we are in group no.57 amount the VADs in Malaysia.
