Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia Makes Contributions To Help Frontliners

Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia (MMM) recently made contributions to help frontliners as part of its ongoing effort to help those fighting the spread of the pandemic. The official distributor of Mitsubishi Motors vehicles in Malaysia had donated RM20,000 to Mercy Malaysia to purchase 400 Tyvek suits for the frontliners at 3 COVID-19 Assessment Centres (CAC) i.e. Stadium Melawati, Stadium Jugra and Klinik Kesihatan Gombak Setia. Additionally, MMM also purchased RM43,000 worth of necessities for a CAC in Hulu Langat.

The company also loaned out 3 of its vehicles i.e. a Triton pick-up truck and 2 Outlander 7-seater SUVs. These are used as transportation support for the frontliners to commute to the vaccination centres (PPV) for the public outreach vaccination programme.

Mitsubishi Motors’ other initiatives include contributing essential items needed for a CAC center such as tents, tables, and chairs, portable air-condition units, queue barriers, and heavy-duty wires. CACs are centres to assess patients on whether they are to be sent to hospitals, quarantine at treatment centers, or to undergo quarantine at home. The CAC which Mitsubishi Motors is assisting in can accommodate up to 400 patients a day.

Furthermore, the financial contribution from MMM will assist the healthcare workers further in conducting extensive screening on possible virus carriers, contract tracing, isolating the infected, and dispensing care to those who need it.

“Although our core business is producing cars, we are committed to doing our part in ensuring the country and our customers are kept safe. The recent increase in cases and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has led to significant emotional stress among the country’s frontliners, particularly healthcare workers in Malaysia. We will continue to communicate closely with key NGOs and public institutions to see how Mitsubishi Motors can continue to contribute,” said Tomoyuki Shinnishi, Chief Executive Officer of MMM.

“This pandemic is one of the most challenging times we have faced as a nation and thus we must step up and breach the support needed especially now where COVID-19 infections are at their highest. We thank our brave frontliners who worked tirelessly for us all,” he added.
