RECENTLY honoured with the Rising Star Developer Award, Haverse Holding Sdn Bhd successfully hosted its inaugural Journey with Love charity dinner on 12 Dec, raising a total of RM1mil.
The full amount will be channelled to 32 beneficiary organisations, underscoring the group’s unwavering commitment to advancing education, cultural development and community well-being.
As the group’s first flagship philanthropic initiative, the charity dinner represents a strategic effort to unite corporate and community resources.
Funds raised will be allocated across three key sectors — education, healthcare services and cultural organisations — ensuring a structured and sustainable approach to supporting social development.
The organiser emphasised that this achievement was made possible through the remarkable support of stakeholders across various industries, in particular, Haverse’s long-standing business partners, contractors and consultant teams played a vital role by participating actively and contributing generously.
Their involvement reflects the collective responsibility embraced by the corporate ecosystem in driving positive societal impact.
“The strong turnout and overwhelming support demonstrate the power of cross-sector collaboration.
“It reaffirms a shared belief that businesses can stand together to uplift communities, especially during times when support is most needed,” said the organiser.
Haverse hopes that this fundraising milestone will serve as a catalyst, inspiring greater participation from organisations across the region.
The group aims to deliver sustained and meaningful support to diverse communities — from cultural preservation and healthcare access to educational enhancement.
This aligns with Haverse’s principle that enterprise growth must progress in parallel with community advancement.
Since its establishment in 2022, Haverse has upheld the vision of building dreams, growing futures — integrating business development with purposeful contributions to society.
The group believes that true corporate success extends beyond commercial achievements to encompass meaningful and lasting social impact.
The inaugural Journey with Love charity dinner thus marks an important milestone in Haverse’s ongoing mission to drive positive transformation within society.
The group also reaffirmed its intention to work closely with partners in advancing environment, social and governance (ESG)-driven initiatives — focusing on environmental stewardship, community care and transparent, ethical corporate governance — to generate long-term benefits for both society and the environment.
The event was honoured by the presence of Johor state assemblyman and healthcare and environment committee chairman Ling Tian Soon, alongside distinguished entrepreneurs, business leaders and strategic partners who gathered to support this meaningful cause.
Throughout the evening, guests were engaged with thematic showcases, interactive segments and fundraising activities designed to highlight the objectives and impact of the various charitable programmes.
The organiser also encouraged continued participation from the business community and the public to collectively extend the reach and influence of future initiatives.
