SCIB holds first CSR event in aid of families affected by COVID-19 in Pulau Redang

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 -- Sarawak Consolidated Industries Berhad (SCIB) subsidiary, SCIB Industrialised Building System Sdn Bhd (SIBS) and its joint-venture partner in the Terengganu roadwork maintenance concession, Sasoakai Resources Sdn Bhd (SRSB), today held their first corporate social responsibility (CSR) event to support Pulau Redang communities who are severely affected by COVID-19.

In a statement, the company said SIBS and SRSB, collectively referred to as SSJV (SIBS-SRSB Joint Venture) had established a CSR team to run the event which was organised in collaboration with the Terengganu Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIDAM).

The event was attended by 100 asnaf families who also received donations totalling RM10,000 presented by SCIB Group Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer Rosland Othman and Chief Executive Officer of SRSB Syed Ahmad Anas.

The SSJV CSR team also visited the homes of the asnaf families who are unable to attend the event to directly distribute the donations and acknowledging their other needs, namely school materials, food supplies and medications.

“We are also looking for more opportunities to expand our reach on the island to provide for more underprivileged families. We are confident that this first CSR event will be the stepping stone for future SSJV CSR team’s initiatives in distributing donations to the needy and charity event,” Rosland was quoted as saying in the statement.
