MASkargo On Quest To Help The Disabled

KUALA LUMPUR, 15 May 2013 – Six physically-challenged individuals were given the “gift of mobility” as each received a brand new Auto Light Weight wheelchairs donated by MASkargo Sdn. Bhd.

The donation made to individuals via the Malaysian Association Help for the Poor and Terminally Ill (PMPPMM) is part of MASkargo’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) effort, aimed to enrich the lives of people with disabilities.

“This CSR initiative is our response to reality. As the leading cargo airline in Malaysia we would like to put a fine example in developing social work as part of our corporate culture,” said Amiroel Shazrie Yussof, Senior Manager Corporate Communications of MASkargo.

He added, “Our contribution today is targeted to benefit the six individuals with special needs and is aimed at helping them overcome challenges as well as integrate them with the mainstream society. MASkargo is happy to support and help the physically challenged to lead normal lives and be part of the society.”

“We are grateful to MASkargo for their commitment to be a true partner in supporting people with special needs. The centre is very fortunate that for its 2nd consecutive year, MASkargo is able to aid PMPPMM in their quest to better serve its members and the community. This certainly has enabled our patients to reach their fullest potential and live a much improved quality of life,” said Nur Haslyda Ahmad Shabri, Secretariat of PMPPMM.

MASkargo is committed to contribute towards sustainable development by working closely with local communities with the aim of improving living standards in a manner that serves the national economy and development process at the same time.
