KUALA LUMPUR, 29 March – Throughout the month of Ramadan, UEM Edgenta Berhad (UEM Edgenta), a leading provider of integrated asset management and infrastructure services, embarked on a series of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives in sealing the Company’s commitment to the community through 2024’s edition of its “Jalinan Kasih Edgenta” series. Reflecting the true spirit of the holy month, the initiatives included distribution of bubur lambuk, food baskets and iftar with selected orphanages.
The month-long CSR programme which touched close to 3,800 beneficiaries nationwide recently culminated with a twinned activity involving mosques in Pantai Dalam; namely Masjid Al-Ikhlasiah and Masjid Ar-Rahah. The programme kicked off with an iftar (breaking of the fast) session with orphans from selected orphanages in Kuala Lumpur together with the congegration of Masjid Al-Ikhlasiah, followed by the distribution of food baskets consisting of grocery items to 300 asnaf beneficiaries which included the congegration of Masjid Ar-Rahah. Both mosques are located within the same locale of UEM Edgenta’s head office, situated in the Pantai Dalam area.
“The spirit of Ramadan is one of generosity, compassion, and shared experiences. Through our signature CSR series aptly called “Jalinan Kasih Edgenta,” we aim to embody these values and create positive experiences for the wider community. We are proud to play a role in strengthening the bonds of togetherness during this holy month,” said Syahrunizam Samsudin, Managing Director/ Chief Executive Officer of UEM Edgenta.
“It is hoped that the distribution of the essential food supplies will also help alleviate the needs of the beneficiaries in the Pantai Dalam and Kerinchi areas while ensuring they have the necessary provisions in preparing meals during the holy month. We believe that UEM Edgenta and the community wherever it operates in have a special bond and we intend to strengthen that silaturahim,” added Syahrunizam.
Also present was Razman Ismail, Chief People Officer of UEM Edgenta, who complemented the food distribution with a donation to Masjid Al-Ikhlasiah, reflecting the company’s commitment to ensure the pillar of the local community is well taken care of. The spirit of giving was extended further with the distribution of duit raya to the asnaf children and Tahfiz students in attendance, bringing smiles to their faces.
