Shahrukh believes everyone deserves a proper meal, regardless of their means. This led him to participate in the Belanja-A-Meal project where families in need were given a voucher to claim a meal a day from any stall participating in the project. 

Shahrukh also operates Nur’s Malay Food, which has given out the most meals under the project. He hopes to continue the legacy of the previous stall owner by keeping the taste of her dishes consistent, so that future generations can continue to enjoy the taste of our local culture.
