UUnniitt 11 :: AAllll aabboouutt MMRRCCSS FFoouunnddeerr Jean Henry Dunant The Red Crescent Society at the world level is better known as the Red Cross. It was founded by Jean Henry Dunant. He was born on May 8, 1828 in Geneva, Switzerland and is known as the Red Cross Father. The idea of setting up the Red Cross was triggered by him during in the battlefield at Solferino, Italy in 24 June 1869. At that time, there was still no medical service to assist and care for the soldiers. With the help of local people,

Henry Dunant began to provide first aid to the injured. Henry Dunant’s initiative was : i. Helping wounded and sick soldiers ii. Give and buy medicine and food to give to the war victims iii. Convert nearby homes and churches to serve as temporary hospitals iv. Ask the local people for help to give first aid treatment without calculate the religion and country of the military that involved v. Using the campaign and slogan Tuttifratelli (We are brothers) This slogan was first introduced by a woman in the city of Castiglione dellestiviere. vi. Gaining the release of Austrian doctors captured by the French. After returning to Geneva early in July, Dunant decided to write a book about his experiences, which he titled Un Souvenir de Solferino (A Memory of Solferino). It was published in 1862 and was printed at Dunant's own expense. In the book, he described the battle, its costs, and the chaotic circumstances afterwards. He also developed the idea that in the future a neutral organization should exist to provide care to wounded soldiers. He distributed the book to many leading political and

military figures in Europe. His book was largely positively received, and the President of the Geneva Society for Public Welfare, jurist Gustave Moynier, made the book and its suggestions of the topic of the 9 February 1863 meeting of the organization. Dunant's recommendations were examined and positively assessed by the members. They created a five-person Committee to further pursue the possibility of their implementation and made Dunant one of the members. The others were Moynier, the Swiss army general Henri Dufour, and doctors Louis Appia and Théodore Maunoir. Their first meeting on 17 February 1863 is now considered the founding date of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). The 1864 Geneva Convention was based on Dunant's idea for an independent organisation to care for wounded soldiers.Dunant was the founder of the Swiss branch of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA).In 1901, he received the first Nobel Peace Prize together with Frédéric Passy, making Dunant the first Swiss Nobel Laureate. He died on 30 October 1910 in Heiden, Switzerland when he was 82 years old.

UUnniitt 22 :: MMRRCCSS HHiissttoorryy The Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) began in 1948 as branches of the British Red Cross Society in the former British North Borneo (now called as Sabah) and Sarawak. In 1950, the British Red Cross Society established the first branch in Penang in the Federation of Malaya which it rapidly expanded its presence in the other states. Upon independence of the Federation of Malaya on 31 August 1957, MRC State branches in the Malayan Peninsula were reorganised as the Federation of Malaya Red Cross Society. The society was later statutorily incorporated by the Federation of Malaya Red Cross Society (Incorporation) Act 1962 by Parliament.

The MRC received official recognition as an independent National Society from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) on 4 July 1963. It was admitted as a member of the International League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies on 24 August 1963. On 16 September 1963, an Act to incorporate the Federation of Malaya Red Cross Society and the British Red Cross Society State branches in Sabah and Sarawak under the name ‘Malaysian Red Cross Society’ was passed by Parliament via the Malaysian Red Cross Society (Incorporation) Act 1965 with the Federation of Malaysia formation. In 1975, the Malaysian Parliament passed the Malaysian Red Cross Society Act 1975, changing the organisation’s name to its current name, the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS). Presently, MRCS is one of 191 National Societies that are members of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, which together with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) are components of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

Unniitt33::MMRRCCSSLoLgoogo- HHisistotoryry& Meaning Do you know, Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS) logo is originated from Red Cross logo? The logo — Red Crescent has changed in Muslim countries. It is because they don’t agree with Red Cross that seems to be related to Christian religion. It all starts when Russia-Turkey war is triggered. Turkey refused to approve Red Cross logo. However, the country use Red Crescent instead of Red Cross. A lot of Muslim countries have followed Turkey footsteps.

At first, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) don’t agree Turkey’s action. Moreover, ICRC indict that Red Cross logo has not related to Christian religion. Finally, in 1929, International Red Cross Conference has approved Red Crescent logo.
