Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia And Malaysian Relief Agency Give Aid For Post-Flood Recovery

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) made a contribution to the Malaysian Relief Agency (MRA) to help victims with post-flood recovery. The donation of RM20,000 by VPCM benefits 850 victims from 170 families in Teluk Gong, Klang. The donation was primarily used to provide essential food packs and electrical appliances such as rice cooker, kettle, and blender.

MRA is a humanitarian organisation that focuses on assisting those affected by natural disasters or armed conflicts. A group of VPCM employees also volunteered their weekends with MRA to extend a helping hand.

Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM, expressed the company’s gratitude at being able to provide some relief to the flood victims. “It is a sobering reality that thousands of Malaysians are still facing the impact and damages left behind in the wake of the severe floods,” he said. “At VPCM, we believe that it is our social responsibility to help those in need as our #WeNotMe spirit extends beyond the company. We hope that our contributions would help the victims to rebuild their lives.”

MRA’s Vice President, Khairil Annuar Khalid said, “MRA’s distribution of assistance is based on phases and as the emergency phase ends, MRA will continue to assist in the early recovery phase. We welcome and are happy to receive funds from the public and corporate bodies such as VPCM who generously contributed RM20,000. At this stage, it is such a relief for victims who have lost everything to be given assistance in any form.”

Those who wish to contribute to MRA’s post-flood relief assistance can donate to Tabung Bantuan Kecemasan Mengharungi Monsun MRA (CIMB Bank – Account no.: 86000 59478; Malaysian Relief Agency).

To also assist Volkswagen owners whose vehicles were affected by the floods, VPCM is offering 30% off parts and labour for repair works (until 28 February 2022). Additionally, VPCM is participating in the government’s Keluarga Malaysia Automotive Discount Voucher initiative. VW owners can claim up to RM1,000 for repair or replacement.
