CAP’s Pioneering Community and Consumer Work – in a Book

People With A Purpose is a book on CAP’s activities and work on community issues and consumer-related matters in the early years. Authored by Troth and Dexter Tiranti, members of the editorial team of the New Internationalist magazine – who described CAP as “one of the country’s highly impressive people’s organisations” – it documents CAP’s important purpose of looking into rural communities’ needs, giving poor people a voice, upholding consumer protection and rights, and working to help people see themselves and their society in a new light. The book offers useful glimpses into CAP’s pioneering work on basic consumer matters, in defending the deprived and oppressed in Malaysian society, influencing Government on development policies, and guiding consumers at all levels to think more critically about issues that affect their daily lives.
