KUALA LUMPUR: In the spirit of encouraging families to stay healthy together in conjunction with the recent Chinese New Year (CNY) festive season, Maxis provided essential aid to B40 households in the central and northern regions.

The aid included face masks, hand sanitisers and basic household necessities such as rice, flour, oil and assorted groceries.

These were distributed to households at Desa Mentari in Petaling Jaya as well as in Sungai Rapat in Ipoh through the Anning Community Centre.

Volunteers from Maxis’ regional offices delivered the aid to the community leaders in phases under strict standard operating procedures (SOPs) to protect Maxis employees, the public and recipients.

“We are grateful that we are able to assist these families to bring some festive spirit to their households.

“Our hope is that they continue to stay healthy and safe during these difficult times, and that our small contribution with the help of our volunteers have made a difference in easing their burden,” said Mariam Bevi Batcha, Corporate Affairs chief of Maxis.

Meanwhile, Desa Mentari Residents Association chairman Faudzi Esbat said this initiative had given them the opportunity to come together in community spirit and strengthen ties with one another as neighbours. 

“We are grateful to Maxis for its contribution,” he said.

To get more families to be active and healthier together, Maxis also launched its social contest #MaxisHealthyToHuat, inspired by lion dancing moves.

Throughout the pandemic, Maxis has been actively continuing its community outreach and aid for Covid-19 relief efforts.

Recently, the company contributed RM500,000 to Yayasan Kebajikan Negara (YKN) through the distribution of an estimated 5,000 food boxes to communities severely impacted by the pandemic, as well as allocation for flood-stricken areas.
