A plantation firm has contributed RM250,000 to support emergency response efforts in Johor. Johor Plantations Group Bhd (JPG) through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative #JPGBerkat made the donation to Waqaf An-Nur Corporation Bhd for the purchase of a disaster relief boat and ambulance.
In a statement, JPG said the contribution bolstered emergency response efforts in Johor, and underscored the company’s dedication to enhancing disaster preparedness, supporting the underprivileged and fostering long-term community resilience.
It was also a key component of JPG’s broader CSR strategy emphasising sustainability, community empowerment and social well-being, the group said.
The official handover took place during a “Jalinan Ukhuwah” programme witnessed by Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi in Kluang.
JPG managing director Mohd Faris Adli Shukery said through #JPGBerkat, the company was dedicated to playing an active role in supporting communities and making a tangible difference in disaster relief efforts.
“At JPG, we believe businesses have a responsibility that extends beyond economic contributions.
“Our support for Waqaf An-Nur will provide vital emergency aid during floods, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability, resilience and social well-being,” said Mohd Faris.
Expressing his gratitude for the generous support Waqaf An-Nur chief executive officer Bukhari Abd Rahman said the contribution from JPG would significantly enhance Briged Waqaf’s ability to respond swiftly and effectively during emergencies.
“Initiatives like this exemplify how CSR can translate into real, positive change in the lives of affected communities.”
