Donated Mitsubishi Triton will ferry Orang Asli children when schools reopen

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) recently donated a Mitsubishi Triton 4x4 pick-up truck to Dignity Farm School, a one-stop holistic and community learning centre for the underprivileged and indigenous urban poor.

In early October, MMM Chief Executive Officer Tomoyuki Shinnishi officially handed over a Mitsubishi Triton to Dignity Farm that will be used for the farm’s daily operations, and to commute the Orang Asli to schools where they are given transformative youth education programs grounded in community building, natural agriculture, and skills development.

Tomoyuki Shinnishi, Chief Executive Officer, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia adds, “In line with the Malaysian government’s efforts to reopen schools soon with tightened and updated standard operating procedures (SOPs) to adhere to, we at Mitsubishi Motors feel it is a strategic time post-lockdown to relook into how we can do more for the underprivileged and indigenous community in terms of education and health,”

He added, “We are happy to work with the Dignity Farm school a place where skills and knowledge are connected and taught from a wellspring of sources and experiences, combining practical skills and theory in a farm setting. This in return will also prepare the underprivileged children in the future to enter an agricultural and tourism workforce requiring both innovation and manpower,”

The Dignity Farm is located in the remote areas of Bentong, Pahang where a 4x4 is required to cover the challenging terrain.

Separately, As part of the company’s various and ongoing Covid-19 aid efforts, MMM have also donated a 'Box of Hope' containing food necessities and a bag of rice to the B40 groups in Malaysia.

This effort will benefit more than 150 families across the nation.
