Recently, MCBA organized a fund raising event by hosting a motivational talk/seminar for the purpose of assisting poor and needy families and communities residing in Pangsapuri Enggang Puchong.
All-in, the event, which was participated by staff of member banks, managed to collect a total amount of RM10, 000. The collection came mainly from the nominal seminar fee paid by member banks, donations from seminar participants, EXCO and staff members of our Association. The seminar speaker, Dr.George Lau, who had kindly agreed to conduct the program on a FOC basis also chose to donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale of a book authored by him. In addition, some seminar participants also donated food items and clothing for distribution to the target families and communities.
All collections were donated on 23 June 2016 through COMMUNITY AT HEART, a non-profit charity organization dedicated with full time staff and volunteers to help these target groups.
Puan Nora Manaf, President of MCBA (and she is also the Group Chief Human Capital Officer, Maybank Group) praised the dedication and role played by Community At Heart in holding various social programs which aim at uplifting the welfare and livelihood of these target groups, and making this world a better place to live in. In her message, she expressed hope that these donations, though not a big amount, would help at least in a small way to provide Community At Heart with the added resources to sustain and continue its endeavours.
Mr. Peter Paul Rajoo, Head, Corporate Industrial Relations of Maybank represented the President of MCBA in handing over the donations of RM10,000 and other items to Mr. Timothy Loh, Director of Community At Heart in the presence of Mr.YY Lam, Executive Director, MCBA.
