MKH Annual Report 2018

The Group continues to play its part in upgrading essential facilities built for the benefit of the 10,000 community members within our oil palm plantation. Among others, there are the 24-hour community clinic that was recently upgraded with special care room and essential medical equipment, road expansion to provide better access for the growing community as well as cultivation of organic produce for the consumption of the community. With the increased number of students as estate population increased year- on-year, we have also added more classrooms and teachers to empower the children of our workers. Through the Indonesian Plasma Programme, the Group provides job opportunities and shares knowledge in planting and estate management, as well as the transfer of technology to the local community. This has allowed them to have better quality of living through higher income. As a seasoned builder of mass market and a ordable housing, we commit to escalate our brand presence in the real estate industry as well as engage the community where the company operates through responsible marketing campaigns. The Board is of the view that the existing sustainability practices adopted are adequate and pertinent to steer the Group's sustainable growth. Nonetheless, it will consider the need to implement other sustainability practices, as appropriate, to compliment existing ones as the Board monitors the sustainability performance of the Group's operations on an ongoing basis. 41 MKH Berhad Annual Report 2018 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT The community clinic operates 24-hours a day to tend to the medical needs of our estate community Over 800 children of our estate workers are provided with schooling opportunities while their parents are at work Our Group Executive Chairman Tan Sri Dato' Alex Chen handing over electric meter to the Head of Desa Puan Cepak, as part of our community engagement initiatives under the Indonesian Plasma Programme
