Members of Enrich, the frequent flyer programme by Malaysia Airlines, can now donate their points as an alternative to monetary donations.

The carrier has partnered with Mercy Malaysia, Make-A-Wish Malaysia and the Malaysian Red Crescent Society for an e-donation drive until July 26.

“It has been a challenging year for us all, especially for the communities-in-need whose livelihood have been impacted even more due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“While the nation is working together to flatten the curve, we encourage everyone to join us in caring for and contributing to the community regardless of the amount, to ease the suffering of others, with just few clicks on the Enrich platform, ” said Lau Yin May, Malaysia Airlines group chief marketing and customer experience officer.

She added that during this challenging period, the carrier hopes to organise more redemption campaigns with charity partners.

Contributions made to Mercy Malaysia will be used to provide medical relief, sustainable health-related development and risk reduction activities for communities in vulnerable situations or in crises.

E-donations made to Make-A-Wish Malaysia and Malaysian Red Crescent Society will be used to help fulfil wishes and transform lives or give aid to alleviate human sufferings.
