MKH Annual Report 2020

41 MKH BERHAD The Plasma Programme was an initiative implemented by the Indonesian government and the Group’s Plantation Division strongly supported this endeavour to improve the local communities’ livelihood. Vide this programme, we provide job opportunities to them and embark on educating them in terms of estate knowledge and management, as well as transfer of technology to the plasma plantation. Our Plantation Division had previously won the best plasma award from the local Regent and was a source of pride to the local communities. Moving forward, our Plantation Division will continue to further strengthen its sustainability initiative to ensure long term growth. As a seasoned builder of mass market and affordable housing, we commit to escalate our brand presence in the real estate industry and also engage the community where the company operates through responsible marketing campaigns. Prior to the COVID-19 movement control by Indonesian government, our Plantation Division had actively- conducted anti-COVID-19 programmes. These included socialisation efforts to educate our workers on COVID-19 prevention measures, physical distancing, cleanliness, sanitisation, quarantine procedures and implementation of controlled entry and exit at our plantation check points. Our continued efforts to ensure all parties’ health and safety, had to date been well-received by the workers and local communities at large.
