The Malaysian Red Crescent (MRC) in collaboration with Sunway Shopping Malls appealing to the Malaysian Public to donate to the “Malaysian Red Crescent Society” relief fund. The campaign theme “Saving Lives, changing minds - a helping hand for flood victims in Thailand aims to provide urgent relief and medical support as to help those people affected by the devastating disaster and to support vital relief operations which will focus on temporary shelter, restoring water and sanitation facilities and providing medical care as well as psychological support to the affected population.
Speaking to the Media at the Press Conference, the MRC National Chairman said “I would like to take the opportunity to thank Sunway Shopping Malls for sincerely and openly coming up in assisting those victims in Thailand for their need of humanitarian help facing the natural disaster affecting their livelihoods. It is also hoped that more corporate bodies, individuals and other agencies will come up to provide their utmost assistance in meeting near and future destruction by nature. “It’s a good way of engaging people to contribute for a noble cause”.
Mr Kevin Tan, Chief Operating Officer of Sunway Shopping Malls was also present at the Press Conference. “Sunway Shopping Malls comprises of Sunway Pyramid, Sunway Giza, Sunway Carnival and Sunway Putra Mall. The last time Sunway Shopping Malls came together for a noble cause was during the Japan tsunami disaster where our shoppers from around the Klang Valley and in Penang folded origami cranes to wish the victims well. All these while, we have our own charity drive campaigns for various causes, parked under our committed S.O.S. Campaign, otherwise known as the ‘Some Of uS’ campaign. This ‘Some Of uS’ campaign extends a helping hand to various needs of the community and judging by the huge impact of the flood in Thailand, we hope to be able to once again, gain assistance from our shoppers and our business partners to support the MRC in their noble cause to assist the victims in Thailand via our ‘Some Of uS’ campaign.
