We offered flood-assistance such as contract cleaners to help with the clean-up of the affected houses, and additional compassionate leave to affected employees. In addition, insurance policies for all employees have been updated during the year with extra benefits including coverage for spouse. Apart from taking care of our affected employees, MSM extended sympathy to the affected public and provided tangible help to state and country-wide flood centres that were affected with prompt food aid. Over 5,000kg of Gula Prai refined sugar was handed over to be distributed to flood victims in Klang Valley, Pahang, Kelantan, and Terengganu through several temporary relief centres and mosques to help over 221 flood affected families of all races and religions. Wherever we operate, we practice an inclusive business with the view that communities around our business environment should benefit from our existence through employment and efforts to enhance livelihoods. MSM Prai’s involvement in mangrove planting during the year, in collaboration with Penang’s Department of Environment, is a great example of MSM working hand-in-hand with the local inshore fishermen community to protect inland shores and sustain fish populations. MSM Group also mindfully contributes to grow opportunities for future generations through educational support. We run an annual “Back-to-school” programme for school-going children of lower income households in the community and also help create a nurturing environment within schools by sponsoring water coolers and meals. We also sponsor children of employees from lower income brackets with tuition fees at primary, secondary and even full scholarships at professional degree qualification levels. Through the Prodigy programme that was launched in July 2021, we target to provide young graduates with avenues for continuous development via on-the-job training, soft skills training, expert coaching, and a chance to be part of Keluarga MSM. We are also playing an active role through MSM Foundation via the USM Penang Steering Committee.
