Auto Bavaria recently teamed up with Lions Club of KL Agape Star to clean the beach and plant artificial reefs on the seafloor in Redang Island, Terengganu.
The 3-day road trip which set off from Sime Darby Motors City in Ara Damansara, Petaing Jaya successfully made the trip to Redang island with a convoy of 15 BMW 218i Gran Coupe with 15 Auto Bavaria staff members and 49 Lions Club members.
The beach and reef conservation mission was a success as the group collected a total of 13 bags of trash as part of its aim to protect the beach’s rich biodiversity.
In addition, the group also planted three artificial reefs with 48 coral nubbins on each reef at the marine park in Pulau Redang to help preserve the coral reef ecosystem.
Auto Bavaria managing director Vi Thim Juan said the beach and reef conservation initiative with Lions Club of KL Agape Star is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
“We appreciate the importance of locally-driven efforts in preserving the natural beauty of Redang Island and are pleased to have played our part in maintaining a clean and beautiful beach for all to enjoy,” he said.
Lions Club of KL Agape Star project organizing chairman Victor Nga said it was encouraging to witness the commitment of Lions Club members in giving back to the community and the environment.
“It was important for the members to undertake an effort close to their hearts and I’m thankful for the collaborative effort with Auto Bavaria that made this possible. It was a pleasure to experience the comfort and agility of the vehicles during our journey,” he said.
Lions Club members were given the opportunity to experience the BMW 218i Gran Coupé, an ultramodern spacious, for-long-distance luxury car with a 1.5 litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine, over the 900km journey to and from Redang Island.
In the spirit of giving back to those less fortunate, the convoy had made a first stop at Kuantan to spread cheer and spent quality time with 30 senior citizens from Gabungan Persatuan Persatuan Tionghua welfare home.
