Perodua Brings Joy To Hospital In Sabah And Children’s Home In Penang
We take a break from covering the price revision for cars and focus on the more personable side of the business. Perodua volunteers recently visited the Sabah Women and Children Hospital bringing with them gifts for the child patients as well as equipment and supplies for the hospital, in celebration of the Kaamatan season and the holy month of Ramadan.
The equipment and supplies contributed by Perodua include two sets of Miller 3 straight laryngoscope blades with handle worth RM1,800 each, as well as 40 bed pillows with PVC covers.
“We wish to acknowledge and thank the selfless staff of the Sabah Women and Children Hospital for their services to the people,” Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer YBhg Datuk (Dr) Aminar Rashid Salleh said.
Together with Lego Malaysia, Perodua gave each of the 250 child patients at the hospital a Lego playset along with other goodies.
“Perodua takes this opportunity to wish Kotobian Tadau Tagazo Do Kaamatan to all who celebrate. May this festival bring us all closer together, and we hope for a harvest just as plentiful next year,” said Datuk (Dr) Aminar.
Separately, Perodua recently returned to Shan Children’s Home in Perai, Penang with a team of 10 volunteers from its outlets in Penang and Kedah. The carmaker first visited Shan Children’s Home on the eve of Deepavali 2017 and contributed over RM20,000 in the form of goods and cash, and announced its commitment to a three-year Corporate Responsibility programme with the home.
This time, Perodua arranged a bread-making class for the home’s 19 children who found it entertaining and educational. The volunteers also helped with spring cleaning and handed out soft toys to the children.
“There are so many ways we can help these children. Material and monetary help is welcome, but both are finite. By engaging the children in educational activities like this, we hope to equip them with skills and knowledge that will benefit them throughout their lifetime,” said Datuk (Dr) Aminar.
