Petron volunteers with affected residents in Kampung Binjai Kuala Lipis, Pahang.
Petron Malaysia employees, via its Volunteerism In Action (VIA) initiative, had activated a donation drive after the recent flooding in several areas in Selangor and Pahang. The donation drive collected funds, clothes and other necessities to provide relief and aid to the flood victims.
The company’s employees and dealers also donated about RM27,000 cash, which was used to purchase essential items like toiletries and kitchenware. There were also Petron dealers whose stations were also affected by the flooding. To show solidarity with these dealers, teams of volunteers comprising Petron employees, other dealers, as well as contractors assisted in clean-up efforts for the affected service stations.
“We are very grateful for the quick and helpful response of the Petron family whose selflessness brought much welcome relief to our impacted dealers and staff. Through their help, we were able to get our service stations quickly up and running to provide fuels for the community,” said Choong Kum Choy, Petron Head of Retail and Commercial Business.
Petron Johor dealers also responded swiftly to calls for assistance from flood victims in the Klang Valley and east coast states. The dealers in these areas raised a total of RM25,000 in just 3 days. This benefited flood victims through Petron’s collaboration with MERCY MALAYSIA. A simple presentation ceremony was held on 31 December 2021 at Petron KM17.1 NS Highway South-bound led by the president of MERCY Johor, Mohamed Noor Suleiman and Petron Kebun Teh’s service station dealer, Sharifah Shamini Syed Muhammad.
Sharifah Shamini presented the cheque to Mohamed Noor Suleiman, and joined by Johor dealers from Petron Pasir Gudang East 2, Petron Jalan Genuang 3.5 mile, Petron KM17.1 NS Highway SouthBound, and Masai Kong Kong.
“I believe no one person could have made such an impact in such a short time. It was a collective effort of Petron Johor Dealers with the aim to help flood-affected victims get their lives back together, #unityovercomesallobstacles,” said Sharifah Shamini, representing Petron Johor dealers.
“We are grateful for the generosity shown by our dealers. Such initiatives will help alleviate the difficulties faced by the community as a result of the flood. Together with our staff and business partners, we will continue to reach out to those affected by this sudden calamity and help them bounce back,” said Choong.
