Prasarana, Uncle Kentang Jointly Extend Aid To The Needy For Chinese New Year

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 10 — Prasarana Malaysia Berhad (Prasarana) today joined forces with community activist ‘Uncle Kentang’ to give out basic food assistance and ang pow to the needy in Puchong, near here, in conjunction with the Chinese New Year celebration this Friday.

Prasarana Group Strategic Communications and Marketing deputy chief Rafizah Amran said the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme was to deliver basic items, such as rice and sugar, to 45 families at a brief event at the Puchong Industrial Estate Light Rail Transit (LRT) Station.

‘’We have many reasons for implementing the programme this year. But the main reason is realising the grave impact of COVID-19, which has affected the lives of everyone,” she said in a statement today.

Rafizah said Prasarana would also organise the same CSR programme in conjunction with Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Deepavali and Christmas.

Meanwhile, Kuan Chee Heng, or Uncle Kentang, hoped that the co-operation established could be continued and would inject enthusiasm and inspiration to other corporate companies to implement a similar programme to help the needy.

In conjunction with the Chinese New Year, Rapid KL also distributed mandarin oranges to the public at LRT, Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), monorail and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Sunway Line stations as well as at the Rapid Penang and Rapid Kuantan stations as a sign of appreciation for their support in using the public transportation services handled by Prasarana.
