PTTEP Malaysia’s contribution was announced at a special Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) event held in collaboration with Malaysian Relief Agency’s (MRA) “WE CARE” programs for Sabah and Sarawak.

“This initiative is part of PTTEP’s commitment and mandate to deliver impactful value across two of our four key pillars of CSR, under its education and basic needs. PTTEP believes that education is the cornerstone of development, and every child should be given equal access to quality education for a brighter future,” said Tengku Saifuzzaman Tengku Ahmad Shahruddin, PTTEP’s Head of GRC & Public Affairs at the CSR event held at Sekolah Kebangsaan Kelanahan in Papar, Sabah.

This is PTTEP Malaysia’s second collaboration with MRA this year.

A total of 516 beneficiaries in Baram, Belaga, Bintulu, Sibu, Samarahan and Miri received food supplies, personal care kits and other basic needs during this last initiative.
