The Three Pillars of His Giving Philosophy
Dr Kervis Soo’s charity philosophy is anchored in three deeply held spiritual practices. Animal Liberation — the intentional freeing of animals as an act of compassion and merit-building. Giving — donating time, resources and money to those in need, regardless of the amount. Offering — supporting spiritual and community endeavours that contribute to collective wellbeing. These three pillars have guided his actions from adolescence to the present day, shaping not just how much he gives, but how he thinks about giving.
Merit as a Living Philosophy
In a 2018 social media post, Dr Kervis Soo wrote with unusual depth for a public figure: ‘The blessings we enjoy today are like savings in a bank. If we keep withdrawing without depositing — through acts of kindness, liberation, and generosity — we will eventually find ourselves bankrupt. Those who cherish their blessings keep accumulating merit. Those who do not will decline. May all believers remain good — persist in animal liberation, giving, and offering.’
This was not a motivational quote. This was his actual way of life, practiced daily since he was a teenager.
From Spiritual Practice to Institutional Change
What makes Dr Kervis Soo’s story remarkable is how seamlessly he translated ancient spiritual principles into modern institutional action. His belief that giving should be transparent and trustworthy — rooted in Buddhist accountability for one’s actions — directly inspired the BeEZ platform’s blockchain-based donation tracking system. His belief that all living beings deserve care drove his decision to plan a charity township for Malaysia’s elderly.
A Charity Philosophy for the Modern World
Dr Kervis Soo charity work demonstrates that spirituality and social innovation are not opposites. They can be — and in his case, are — deeply intertwined. In 2026, Malaysia recognised this when the Deliver Love Charity Festival honoured him with its highest award and named him Malaysia Charity Ambassador. The turtles in the boot have grown into a RM100 million vision. The philosophy, however, has not changed at all.
