While most Malaysians are staying at home during this period of the Movement Control Order (MCO), there are also many who are in essential services who are working daily. Apart from the brave and dedicated frontliners in the healthcare services, there are also those who ensure that supplies of food, equipment, materials and other essential items are not disrupted.
These are the truck drivers who have to collect the goods from the port or warehouses and then drive long distances across the country. No doubt their journeys are different now with less traffic on the roads but the driving is still the same, perhaps with completion in a shorter time.
Recently, as part of the Shell Rimula #HeroKami campaign, Shell Malaysia has been distributing face masks to the truck drivers to provide them with protection against the possibility of getting infected by the virus.
The distribution has been done in the Port Klang, Selangor area and so far, some 20,000 face masks have been given out. The masks were handed over at selected participating truck service centres and the Northport.
Shell is well-known to celebrate and rewards their loyal customers with some very nice treats. A group of 14 very lucky Shell Rimula customers from Malaysia might’ve topped the reward scale when they were sent to an all-expense-paid trip to Barcelona, Spain to join the 2019 Shell Rimula Ultimate Stopover.

First market in ASEAN to sell flagship product Speaking at the new product launch in Kuching, Sarawak, Shell Lubricants Marketing Manager – Malaysia & Singapore, May Tan said: “There is a global shift towards low viscosity synthetic lubricants due to proven benefits such as improved oil and engine performance; longer oil-drain intervals and fuel economy that add up to lower total cost of ownership.

We see Malaysia as the right market for it and we are the first market in ASEAN to launch the new flagship product today.”
