The plight of flood victims in the states affected by the recent torrential monsoon rains has driven Northport (Malaysia) Bhd (Northport), a member of MMC Group, to organise a donation campaign. The noble initiative was embarked to give the employees of Northport an opportunity to contribute and help ease the burden of the flood victims, whose livelihood have been put on hold due to the damaging effects of the disaster. A total of RM14,692.00 was successfully raised during the campaign, to be donated to the victims through the Malaysian Relief Agency (MRA).

The donation was handed over by Dato’ Azman Shah Mohd Yusof, Chief Executive Officer of Northport to Dato’ Dr. Mohd Daud Sulaiman, President of MRA during a simple ceremony held at the MRA headquarters in Cheras on 8 January 2021.

MRA is a non-profit humanitarian organisation with the primary objective of assisting those affected by natural disasters or armed conflicts, both locally and abroad.

Northport has participated in humanitarian aid missions to help flood victims in the past. In 2015, Northport distributed essential needs to the flood victims in Kelantan and Pahang which were severely hit by a massive flood, the worst in the history of the states.

In April last year, Northport has also organised a similar donation campaign, to give its employees the opportunity to contribute and support our frontline workers in battling the COVID-19 pandemic. The donation raised in the campaign was used to purchase personal protective equipment and food items to be distributed to the hospital, health clinics and police stations around Klang.

“This donation is a reflection of our caring, sensitive, generous and kind-hearted employees to help our fellow Malaysians affected by the natural disaster. Northport will continue to stand in solidarity with those in dire need of help and support, during this difficult time,” said Dato’ Azman.
