Fire Victims Receive Aid From Malakoff

Malakoff Corporation Berhad, a member of MMC Group through its wholly-owned Tanjung Bin Power Plant, came to the aid of fire victims at Kampung Tenggayun, Pontian, Johor. A fire that occurred at around 4pm on 14 May 2018 razed a house, leaving six homeless.

Staff from the plant sympathised with the victims’ and visited them at their temporary house, led by En Mohd Kopli Yunus, Head of Production at Tanjung Bin Power Plant. From the Fire and Rescue Department’s initial investigation, the fire caused by a short circuit from the electrical wiring of the house. Fortunately, the victims, ages ranging from 9 to 50 years old, were not in the house during the incident.

To ease the victims’ burden, especially in the holy month of Ramadan, Tanjung Bin Power Plant organised an ad hoc collection of clothes and food items amongst its staff and handed to the victims during the visit, together with a cash contribution of RM1,400. En Mohd Kopli said it is a common practice for Malakoff to offer assistance within the local community especially when there is an incident such as this.
