Perodua Contributes RM2-Million, Supplies Towards COVID-19 Efforts

“This war against COVID-19 is a shared responsibility. The funds & items contributed by Perodua are part of our ongoing efforts to ensure Malaysia will recover as fast as it can.”

Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad, President & Chief Executive Officer, Perodua

Malaysian mega-manufacturer Perodua has today joined the war against the Coronavirus that has swept the globe, today making a major contribution towards the COVID-19 fund set up by the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA).

Perodua wrote a cheque for RM2,000,000 which was presented by President & CEO Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad, and received by YAB Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yasin, the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

In addition to the financial contribution, the Sg. Choh company also donated 150 mattresses, 200 pillows, 105 boxes of mineral water, 15 industrial fans, and 300 pairs of rubber gloves to the Sg. Buloh Hospital, to aid the ongoing fight against the global pandemic.

The NADMA-COVID19 fund was set up to assist people made most vulnerable by the current situation, including the unemployed and others. It was launched on the 11th of March, and has since been repurposed to help those who are most affected by the ongoing Movement Control Order, which came into effect on the 18th of March. It works to complement the Prihatin Rakyat stimulus package that was recently announced by the Prime Minister.

“We thank the government for these economic measures. Perodua, in solidarity with all Malaysians, hopes this pandemic will be resolved in the shortest time and with minimal infections & fatalities. To those who have lost loved ones to COVID-19, we extend our most sincere condolences.

As for Perodua, we have directed all our staff, the greater automotive supply chain, and our authorised dealers to pay keen attention to their staff’s needs & welfare during this MCO. We are monitoring the situation closely to ensure that the livelihoods of our ecosystem, like wages, benefits, and especially employment, are not impacted.

We are committed to the social distancing measures enforced by the authorities, to ensure the spread of the virus is contained. And to our customers in particular and all Malaysians in general, please stay indoors and stay healthy.”

Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad, President & Chief Executive Officer, Perodua

We at MalaysianMotoring would like to thank Perodua for their generous contribution towards the nation’s fight against the Coronavirus.
