MELAKA, Dec 15 (Bernama) -- PETRONAS yesterday reached out to victims of the recent floods in Melaka through its Sentuhan Kasih PETRONAS programme, providing aid amounting to RM135,000 to 540 families.
 
The identified recipients were from the Alor Gajah district, the area most severely affected by the flood. Each family received a contribution of RM250 to obtain essential food items and basic necessities through a cashless payment system linked to their MyKad.
 
They can obtain rice, sugar, cooking oil, kitchen utensils, home appliances and hygiene products within two months starting from yesterday at the local partnering supermarket, Mydin Mall Pulau Sebang.
 
School items such as school uniform, shoes, books and stationeries are also included as basic necessities, to help families prepare for the new school year.
 
More than 50 PETRONAS employees and representatives from the MyKasih Foundation, which administers the cashless payment system, volunteered to provide briefing and assistance to the 540 families at the supermarket.
 
PETRONAS Vice President of Group Procurement, Samsudin Miskon, said during the launch event that the assistance is intended to help relieve some of the financial burden of the affected families before the start of the new school term.
 
“It is our sincere hope that this small contribution from us will help families to resume their normal activities sooner, and lighten the financial strain caused by the floods,” he added.
 
Member of Parliament for Alor Gajah and Minister of Entrepreneur Development, YB Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof, graced the event as the Guest of Honour.
 
For the past eight years, PETRONAS has been actively involved in disaster relief and rebuilding efforts. This year, PETRONAS through its Corporate Foundation, Yayasan PETRONAS (YP), has allocated RM3 million to cater to any disaster aid efforts nationwide in anticipation of the current monsoon season.
 
Apart from providing relief assistance during disasters, Sentuhan Kasih PETRONAS also reaches out to the less privileged communities during the festive seasons to provide assistance and help spread cheer.
 
Yayasan PETRONAS (YP) has been incorporated as a Corporate Foundation for PETRONAS to enhance its CSR efforts. YP is committed to contribute to the well-being of the society on three key focus areas, namely Education, Community Well-being & Development, and Environment, anchoring on social innovation and environmental solutions targeted towards clean energy and a sustainable environment.
