The company broadens its CSR efforts with multi-part food distribution programs to tackle urban hunger and empower vulnerable communities.
Gas Malaysia Berhad has demonstrated a strong commitment to community welfare this year through a series of increasingly impactful food aid initiatives aimed at supporting urban vulnerable groups. By partnering with Pertubuhan Tindakan Wanita Islam (PERTIWI), the company delivered over 200 packed meals and essential food baskets to homeless individuals and low-income families at the Medan Tuanku Transit Centre in Kuala Lumpur on 5 February 2025. This event marked the final session in a three-part outreach program, reinforcing the organization’s focus on consistent, structured community support
Led by senior corporate affairs manager Akbar Md Thayoob, the program not only provided immediate relief but also aimed to embed food security as a key component of the company’s broader CSR and ESG strategy. Gas Malaysia engaged 15 employees as volunteers, helping to prepare, pack, and distribute meals, and set a target to scale this initiative to more states in the months ahead
This latest campaign builds on the company’s long-standing MMC Prihatin tradition. During Ramadan 2024, Gas Malaysia distributed 250 “Kotak Prihatin” food parcels to bottom-40% (B40) households, and in 2023, hosted iftar gatherings and provided RM 64,000 in zakat donations to orphanages in the Klang Valley. These initiatives reflect a CSR framework guided by four pillars—Community, Sports, Education, and Environment—underscoring a well-rounded, ongoing commitment to holistic community support.
Gas Malaysia continues to demonstrate that when CSR is designed as an evolving journey rather than a series of one-off events, community outcomes improve and corporate culture is strengthened. Their structured aid programs may serve as practical models for businesses looking to address socio-economic challenges amid rising urban cost-of-living pressures.
