ENRA Group Berhad | Annual Report 2022 56 All crew members were given continuous awareness on COVID-19 especially on the variants, symptoms, and vaccinations so that their knowledge would be up-to-date and not just useful during their time working onboard but also after they demobilise from the vessel. c. Pride in serving a socially responsible employer that serves the community A company can operate solely with profitmaking motives and be successful. A company can also be successful by striving towards making profit for its owners/shareholders and while doing so, uplifting its stakeholders as well. This is what Sustainability is and what ENRA strives for. i. Zakat Wakalah Zakat (tithe) is normally paid to the various state zakat authorities where a zakat payer, an individual or organisation, resides. In our case, the zakat is paid to Pusat Pungutan Zakat (“PPZ”) Wilayah Persekutuan. PPZ will then distributes the tithe to the eight asnaf groups. The zakat paid by ENRA to PPZ comprise of individual zakat of our Muslim employees who choose to pay their zakat via monthly salary deduction and a 2.5% deduction from company profits. Only EGB and ENRA SPM Labuan elected to pay zakat. Any zakat paid is tax deductible, for both employees and ENRA. Zakat Wakalah is a program available through the various PPZs where if an organisation or individual’s zakat payment surpasses a certain threshold, a percentage of the zakat paid is available for self-distribution on behalf (wakalah/wakil) of PPZ. For FY 2021/20, the amount available for self-distribution amounted to RM69,277 (EGB: RM56,6330 and ENRA SPM Labuan: RM12,647). For this whole amount the self-distribution was made to asnafs (recipients) under the poor category. ii. Flood relief efforts The severity of the flood that occurred in December 2021 caught everyone off guard. Earlier in the year it was forecasted that the annual flood would not be severe. However, heavy rainfall within a few days proved that the forecast was way off and consequently, Selangor and Pahang were badly affected. In the case of Selangor, some of the hard hit and badly inundated areas were areas thought to be flood-free. True to their goodhearted nature, ordinary Malaysians, citizens or otherwise, and NGOs sprang into action to assist. In the chaos of relief providers, our staff could have banded together with a relief group from their communities or NGOs, but instead they chose to band together and provided relief under ENRA’s banner. Instead of rushing in with aid and supplies, the original team comprising six staff elected to wait, observe and understand so that the subsequent efforts would be well-targeted, effective and meaningful.
