Johor Bahru, 27 April 2023 – Johor Port Berhad (Johor Port), a member of MMC Group, worked together with Jawatankuasa Pembangunan & Keselamatan Kampung Kuala Masai (JPKK Kuala Masai) and Pertubuhan Ihsan Johor to provide aid to 250 low household income families in the Pasir Gudang area in another meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, Johor Port Prihatin, which took place from 12 April 2023 to 13 April 2023.
As part of the Johor Port Prihatin Programme, 50 food boxes and financial aid were distributed to 50 underprivileged families in Taman Megah Ria, Taman Rinting and Kuala Masai in collaboration with JPKK Kuala Masai.
Johor Port, together with Pertubuhan Ihsan Johor, also managed to reach out to 200 primary school students from low household income families in SK Tanjung Puteri, SK Kota Masai 2, SK Masai and SK Taman Scientex by providing the same food boxes and financial aid.
To date, Johor Port has contributed close to RM100,000.00 in aid under the Johor Port Prihatin Programme with the hope that these families will be able to have a more meaningful and memorable Raya celebration this year.
In a separate CSR programme called Jalinan Immarah Ramadan, Johor Port treated 50 underprivileged children from Sekolah Kebangsaan Tanjung Langsat to a Raya clothes shopping outing and Iftar feast at Renaissance Hotel, Johor Bahru on 14 April 2023.
With the objective of lightening the financial burden of families with low household income, all of these contributions are aimed to bring more joy to the families especially when Raya celebration is just around the corner – inculcating in all the values of sharing throughout the month of Ramadan and Syawal.
Md Derick Basir, Chief Executive Officer of Johor Port said, “I would like to say that we hope that our CSR contributions will bring some cheer to these underprivileged families and children.”
“Johor Port’s focus in giving back to the community will help to empower the lives of the younger generations and strengthen the Johor Port’s already good relationship with the community,” he said.
Johor Port’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiative focuses on giving back to the communities especially in the areas where it operates, in order to facilitate the growth of the local socio-economy.
As a caring organisation, Johor Port remains committed to being socially responsible in the long run.
