Festive Cheer<br />
The less privileged receive help and support<br />
through Malaysia Airports' CSR programme,<br />
Airport@Community<br />
Saniah Mohamad Nor, a general<br />
worker at Malaysia Airports will<br />
be celebrating Eid this year<br />
with joy and happiness. She<br />
is the first recipient to receive<br />
donations under Malaysia<br />
Airports' corporate social<br />
responsibility (CSR) initiative<br />
called 'Airport@Community',<br />
launched in May 2017.<br />
The 70-year-old said, "I am very<br />
grateful to the Almighty and<br />
thankful that Malaysia Airports<br />
cares about the plight of us less<br />
fortunate people especially<br />
during fasting period and the<br />
upcoming Eid celebrations."<br />
Saniah's financial assistance<br />
under Airport@Community is<br />
part of Malaysia Airports' aim<br />
to improve the lives of local<br />
communities living within the<br />
vicinity of the airports and the<br />
Sepang district.<br />
RM30,000 from an allocation of RM150,000 will be used to<br />
refurbish three residences that are occupied by locals living<br />
around Sepang. The CSR initiative is also a reflection of the<br />
commitment of Malaysia Airports in voluntarily helping to ease<br />
the burden of life of those less fortunate through financial aid<br />
or in the form of essential items.<br />
Malaysia Airports Managing Director, Datuk Badlisham Ghazali<br />
said, "Since the inception of Malaysia Airports, we remain<br />
committed to carry out various corporate social responsibility<br />
initiatives to assist local communities within areas in which we<br />
conduct our business operations and today, we are launching<br />
another programme, Airport@Community with the hope and<br />
aspiration to help the less fortunate lead a better life.<br />
He said the programme was timely for those receiving aid in<br />
the form of home renovations and improvements as the months<br />
of Ramadan and Syawal are all about lending a helping hand<br />
to the unfortunate.<br />

out not only to the locals in Sepang but to other communities<br />
where we conduct our business operations too."<br />
