fund-raising

BMW Group Malaysia has long been pro-active in providing assistance and support to local organisations which helps the underprivileged and marginalised communities. It has also initiated a subsidy programme to make travel in cars safer for small children by helping their parents acquire childseats.

Providing food relief
The latest initiative by its subsidiary, BMW Group Financial Services Malaysia, is to raise funds in support of the Refuge for the Refugees and Empire Project. Both are local organisations actively providing food relief in Malaysia during the COVID-19 pandemic. These initiatives are also supported by BMW Group Malaysia in terms of logistics and delivery needs by providing vehicles.

Kuching MarathonAlthough car companies are in the business of selling motor vehicles and being profitable for their shareholders, there are also time when they take time off from their business to do good deeds for society. Isuzu Malaysia, for example, recently formed a team to participate in the Kuching Marathon 2019 and raised funds for charity while doing so.

Team Isuzu, comprising management and staff of Isuzu Malaysia with members of the media, ran various distances in the event as part of their efforts to raise funds for local charity. “It was a tremendous effort by the team to participate in the marathon and to raise funds for charity. I am grateful to everyone who contributed to the success of this, particularly members of the media who have been extremely supportive of the cause,” said Koji Nakamura, CEO of Isuzu Malaysia.

Pledges by Isuzu dealers
The funds were partly raised through pledges by Isuzu dealers in Sarawak including Dai Max Automobile, KM Mobil and Rhino Motors who were also represented at the ceremony by Terry Tiong Ung Hung, Tan Kim Hoon and Amy Lim, respectively. Mr. Nakamura, accompanied by members of Team Isuzu, handed over mock cheques of the funds raised to Hope Place Kuching and Persatuan OKU Kuching.
