UEM Edgenta has again exemplified its commitment towards the community during the holy month of Ramadan through its “Jalinan Kasih Edgenta Ramadan” programme.
Altogether, the month-long community outreach touched the lives of more than 2,000 individuals across various states nationwide. The programme started with donations of essential food, grocery vouchers and cash contributions to over 475 asnaf families at various locations where the Company operates. The outreach began from Masjid Ar Rahah in Bangsar South and progressed subsequently to PPR Pantai Ria in Bangsar and to selected mosques in Perak, Penang, Kedah, Terengganu and Perlis respectively.
The programme continued with a raya shopping treat to AEON in IOI City Mall, Putrajaya with orphans from Rumah Bakti Nur Ain in Bangi, in preparation for Hari Raya Aidilfitri. The children beamed with joy when they were taken for a raya shopping treat, where they were able to browse through a wide selection of clothes and select their own set of clothing, as well as other necessities. Their meaningful day concluded with an “iftar” session at the Le Meridien Hotel in Putrajaya.
“As we celebrate this joyous and festive occasion, it is equally important to remember those unfortunate and ensure that they are not left behind, especially in ensuring the wellbeing of children. We must strive and alleviate the hardships of those in need by extending a helping hand. We can create a positive impact on their lives and inspire them to give back to the community in the future. Through acts of kindness and generosity, we can make a meaningful difference in the world and spread love and compassion to those around us. Let us use this festive occasion as an opportunity to reflect on our blessings and share them with those who are less fortunate, making their lives brighter and filled with hope,” said Syahrunizam Samsudin, Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of UEM Edgenta.
This year’s Jalinan Kasih Edgenta Ramadan programme ended on a high note with the distribution of the delicious “bubur lambuk” to more than 800 motorists at the Sungai Buloh R&R area along the North-South Expressway.
