Honda Malaysia contributes RM 40k worth of essential goods to charity

Contributing essential and recreational items to a Covid-19 low-risk quarantine centre in Melaka isn’t the only effort that Honda Malaysia has been up to last month. The company also held another charity drive that saw them donate more essential items to various charity homes in Melaka. 

The latest round of donations was done in collaboration with Honda Malaysia Suppliers Club (HMSC). The donation saw both parties contributed close to RM 40,000 worth of essential goods to six charity homes in Melaka that are affected by the pandemic.

The six charity homes include Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Istimewa Dan Warga Emas Alor Gajah, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Warga Emas Dan Anak Yatim Victory, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak-Anak Harapan, Persatuan Kebajikan Sri Murni Insan Istimewa, Pertubuhan Kebajikan Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna and Pusat Jagaan Pertubuhan Villa Harapan.

Honda Malaysia and HSMC hope that the contributions will not only help alleviate the burden caused by the total lockdown but also uplift the spirits of the residents in the homes. They also hope that this would provide both parties with a chance to strengthen their working relationship.

Honda Malaysia Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Ms Madoka Chujo said, “2021 continues to be a challenging year for Malaysia with the alarming rise in COVID-19 cases, and the country was placed under a nationwide lockdown since June 2021.

“The near total closure of the economic sectors has resulted in difficulties in sustaining livelihoods especially among the communities that need support, thereby bringing adverse impact on their everyday life. We understand their situation and believe in order to overcome the challenges, we must move forward “Together As One” and help each other in every possible way,” she added.
