PETALING JAYA: Star Foundation received a generous donation of RM20,000 from NP642 Charity Foundation in conjunction with the latter’s 15th anniversary charity celebration, marking the third year of its support for the foundation’s community-driven initiatives.
The donation was presented as part of NP642’s ongoing effort to give back to society while celebrating a decade and a half of charitable work since its establishment in Malaysia in 2010.
Star Foundation chairman Tan Sri Wong Foon Meng said the contribution will go towards strengthening the foundation’s flagship programmes that support vulnerable communities nationwide.
“This contribution will further strengthen the work we are doing through our core programmes, including the Star Social Impact Grant, our Supporting NGOs initiative and the Medical Fund Programme.
“These programmes uplift underserved communities, provide life-saving medical aid and support grassroots-driven solutions across the country.
“Every contribution enables us to deliver sustainable impact and long-term community development,” he said.
He added that collaborations with partners such as NP642 Charity Foundation allow Star Foundation to extend its reach and ensure help reaches both urban and rural areas.
“The support we receive from organisations and corporate donors plays a crucial role in amplifying our impact.
“We are deeply grateful for the trust placed in us and remain committed to stewarding every contribution responsibly,” he said.
NP642 Charity Foundation chairman Johnsen Lim said the organisation’s charity journey began in 2017 as part of its mission to contribute back to society while empowering individuals through career opportunities.
“To change lives, the most important thing is to build a career and at the same time contribute to society,” he said, adding that the foundation has steadily expanded its charitable efforts in Malaysia.
This year, NP642 aims to raise RM150,000 through its ongoing charity initiatives, with around RM120,000 already collected ahead of its upcoming gala dinner later this month.
“We will continue to do good and help those in need,” he said.
