“As a responsible corporate citizen, Mah Sing will continue to work hand-in-hand with the government and other relevant bodies to weather through this storm together,” Leong said.

KUALA LUMPUR: Mah Sing Group Bhd, together with its corporate responsibility arm Mah Sing Foundation (MSF), is donating 20 units of heavy-duty critical-care ventilators worth RM3.9mil to the National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA), to be distributed to front line hospitals in need.  

Mah Sing group managing director Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum said: “We learnt that our public hospitals are facing acute shortage of ventilators, especially heavy-duty ventilators which are suitable for use in critical care units.  

“Therefore, we sourced for suitable equipment and are contributing these 20 units to NADMA. Our front liners are keeping us safe by putting their lives on the line on a daily basis and working tirelessly to contain the pandemic. They need equipment like ventilators, personal protection equipment and masks to help them do their work.”  

Earlier in the year, MSF had also contributed RM100,000 worth of medical supplies to medical institutions in the city of Wuhan. This was in collaboration with Malaysian relief organisation #OpsHarapan which had direct access to hospitals there.

Leong said MSF has always placed their upmost priority to enhance the lives of the surrounding community. The support against Covid-19 pandemic is in line with the foundation’s aim, which is to create long-term and sustainable impacts in the community.

“We believe that our contribution will provide great assistance to our front-line medical hospitals in their efforts to combat this outbreak and will take us closer to tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, which has caused disruptions in our daily routines and lives,” Leong said.
