Malaysia is in a transition to endemic phase of Covid-19, allowing the people to celebrate Raya during Syawal with less restrictions and more face-to-face interaction. However, precautions still need to be taken to keep the young, the old and the differently-abled well-protected.
Putting empathy into action, Clorox Malaysia donated RM24,270 worth of disinfection essentials to 24 non-governmental organizations to ensure residents have a safer and more hygienic Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Syawal celebrations.
The Clorox brand collaborated with the Social Welfare Department Malaysia (JKM) in distributing disinfection essentials to 17 orphanages, five old folks’ homes and two differently-abled homes located in the Klang Valley.
“Clorox would like everyone to have a safe, hygienic and joyous Hari Raya Aidilfitri and the month of Syawal celebration, especially now that we can celebrate with fewer restrictions,” said Clorox Southeast Asia marketing manager Monique Gonzales.
“However, at-risk communities such as the elderly, OKU and the children still need more care. Our products are developed for disinfection and fit the need. We are glad to support these communities in collaboration with JKM.”
Clorox has been in the business of cleaning and disinfection solutions since 1913. The brand Clorox has been trusted for generations to kill 99.9% of germs. Its claims are backed by data and its products have been tried and tested.
Unit/PRO JKM said it prepared the list of 24 selected welfare voluntary organizations (PSK) and welfare Institutions, namely 17 from Selangor JKM and seven from Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory JKM.
“We welcome and appreciate the noble efforts of the management of the Clorox company in organizing this initiative which can provide hygiene benefits to the target group in heading towards the endemic phase of Covid-19,” it said.
A representative from Pertubuhan Kebajikan Ukhuwah Anak Yatim/Miskin Daerah Sabak Bernam, Rosnah Mohamad Razali, expressed gratitude to Clorox and JKM for the needful contribution of products which are essential for disinfecting before and after visits to keep everyone safer.
