EPIC Homes builds houses for the Orang Asli community. COVID-19 has halted those plans for the time-being, but that doesn’t mean the company is backing down. With the COVID-19 Alliance for Orang Asli, EPIC continues to aid their community with donations, food, and supplies - to ensure that the Orang Asli are safe and well-stocked during this time. We speak to John-Son Oei, Founder and CEO of EPIC Homes, about shifting gears, gathering data about donation drives, as well as plans for EPIC in the near future.
