Boustead Properties Berhad, together with Klinik Segara, reached out to volunteers at the Multimedia University (MMU) Cyberjaya mega vaccination centre (PPV) by providing 1,800 dinner boxes over 30 days as tokens of appreciation.
The BousteadCares initiative which began on 23 August 2021 was aimed to assist and support the volunteers who have been helping out at the PPV, enduring prolonged hours in ensuring the process and operation there ran smoothly.
The volunteers comprised medical frontliners and university students who were eager to help their communities regain a sense of normalcy once herd immunity is achieved.
Boustead Properties chief operating officer Eason Phan said in dealing with an unprecedented situation, the company remain committed to supporting the noble efforts by volunteers at the PPV whose selfless deed is for the greater good of the country.
“Having to deal with thousands of people from all walks of life throughout the day can take a toll. So we want them to know that their sacrifices are not in vain, and this contribution of hearty and nutritious meals prepared by our subsidiary, Royale Chulan Hotels & Resorts, is our way of demonstrating our appreciation to the volunteers whose efforts are invaluable,” he said.
Close to 1,500 vaccine doses are being administered daily at PPV MMU Cyberjaya since it started operations on 15 July 2021.
As the National Recovery Plan and vaccination drive gain momentum, Eason added that the Boustead group intends to continue playing its part to help fellow Malaysians and the nation flatten the curve.
Klinik Segara Group senior partner Dr Malkit Singh Sekhon expressed gratitude for the opportunity to work with a caring corporate entity like Boustead Properties who has been compassionate about extending a helping hand to those struggling during the pandemic.
“After a long and exhausting day, these meals will truly be a treat for the volunteers. Achieving herd immunity via vaccination is a national goal, and by collaborating with like-minded companies, we are getting closer to this goal each day,” he said, adding that Klinik Segara has been a tenant of the Curve shopping mall for the last 16 years.
Boustead Properties has embarked on various BousteadCares CSR activities during the pandemic, including giving aid to flood victims in Johor, helping the underprivileged communities in Klang Valley and Semenyih, food donation to the frontliners, motorbike donation to the Balai Polis Semenyih, as well as assisting firms and retailers with the aims at contributing to the well-being of society and the nation.
