KOTA KINABALU: Telecommunications company, Tune Talk, is donating RM100,000's worth of assistance to the Malaysian Medical Association Sabah to help fight Covid-19.

Tune Talk chief executive officer Ameen Amaendran said the assistance was a way for them to show their support for frontliners in the country.

“Dedicated doctors, nurses and medical staff across the country are working tirelessly to care for us Malaysians, ” he said.

“With the movement control order (MCO) being extended to April 28, it is a crucial period for us to provide full support to our heroic frontliners, ” he said.

Amaendran said in Sabah and Sarawak alone, the number of new Covid-19 cases continued to rise, resulting in several hospitals needing more assistance.

Following this donation initiative, Tune Talk will also launch its Power of 99 SEN campaign to continue the company’s support.

“This second phase of the initiative will be contributed to our fellow medical frontliners in Sarawak, in funding their medical supplies and daily needs to lessen their burden, ” he said.

In the Power of 99 SEN initiative, Tune Talk subscribers can do their part and contribute by messaging ‘99SEN’ to 2222.

“This is so that 99 sen of their credit will be deducted and donated, ” Amaendran said.
