Making Sacrifices for the Common Good

Every year, the Medical Consul tants, management and staff of KPJ Group dig deep into their pockets and hearts to reach out to the less fortunate and those struck by misfortune and 2010 proved to be no different.

In keeping with the spirit of giving, the Medical Consultants and staff of KPJ Group took a step back from their daily work to spend time with the less fortunate during the holy month of Ramadhan to visit the elderly and orphans at various homes in the country, and contribute fnancial aid to the needy.

A notable effort was the employees’ willingness to make contributions in their own small way to assist fellow colleagues who were affected by the severe food that ravaged many parts of the Northern states of Perlis and Kedah in November 2010.

The flood swept away the homes and belongings of many but in spite of the crisis, the team at Kedah Medical Centre (KMC) discovered their capability and drew strength from the depths of their hearts to reach out to help others in need.

For fve days, between 8 and 12 November, KMC’s Medical Consultants and staff set out to voluntarily provide assistance and free medical services to the victims at some of the food relief areas such as Alor Janggus and Mergong in Kedah.

They set up a free clinic at Surau Lorong Fajar, Jalan Sultanah to provide medical aid to food victims in the settlement area, joined hands with Briged Wakaf to assist victims in cleaning their homes.

KMC, together with KPJ’s sister companies KFC Ho l d i ngs Berhad, Ayamas Food Corporation and Pizza Hut Malaysia, also made contributions in kind to the food victims.
