SCC encourages its employees to voluntarily participate in programmes organised internally or externally such as the blood donation campaign organised by “Persatuan Kebajikan Anak-Anak Yatim Dan Kurang Upaya Malaysia”. The campaign was held at Pearl Point on November 2017. We were divided into groups to ensure a smooth campaign flow. This campaign is a part of the CSR initiative taken by SCC in mitigating the social issues faced by Malaysians. The blooddonationdrivewas a success as a total of 163bags of bloodwere collected. SCCwas awarded a Certificate of Appreciation by “Persatuan Kebajikan Anak-Anak Yatim Dan Kurang Upaya Malaysia” as a recognition of contribution and involvement. A visit to IQ70plus SCC Group is mindful of the responsibility to contribute to those less fortunate. Other than participating in the blood donation campaign, we have visited Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Terencat Akal Malaysia (IQ70Plus), Petaling Jaya (PKKTAM) on November 2017. PKKTAM provides all-day comprehensive humane assistance for individuals with mental disabilities. They rely entirely on the contribution from the society to support their daily expenses. Therefore, we have made contributions in terms of cash as well as daily essential supplies during our visit. Through our CSR programmes in 2017, we hope to promote societal awareness in improving the life of the mentally challenged group. Charity Bazaar SCC Group also took part in the annual charity fund raising bazaar and food fair organised by Angels Children’s Home, Kuala Lumpur. In this event, SCC has sponsored some food supplies such as Korean instant noodle and pop-corn. The responses from the participants were overwhelming. The funds raised were contributed to the orphanage to support their daily operation costs and educational needs. SCC also participated in a Family Fun Fair organised by Nalanda to raise funds for a new Dhamma learning facility in K. Sri Dhammananda Centre, Sri Serdang. The facility was built to provide opportunities for more children and teenagers to attend Dhamma classes. We have taken the initiative to sponsor our company’s products such as Korean instant noodle, pop-corn and coffee during the fair. Funds collected during the fair were donated to Nalanda for the building of new facilities. We hope that our contribution will provide the future generations with holistic education.
