Port of Tanjung Pelepas Collaborates with Johor Port Authority and Pelepas Terminal Inland Services for Community Sustainability Project for Gelang Patah Community


Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas Sdn Bhd (PTP), a member of MMC Group in collaboration with Johor Port Authority (JPA) and Pelepas Terminal Inland Services Sdn Bhd (PTIS) had successfully built and handed over their first container library to Sekolah Kebangsaan Ladang Pendas, Gelang Patah, Johor Bahru as part of a joint CSR education based project this year.


The official hand over and launching ceremony of the container library was officiated by YB Aminolhuda Bin Hassan, Chairman of Johor State Education, Human Resource, Science and Technology Committee. Also present during the event were YB Tuan Sr. Dzulkefly Bin Ahmad, Johor State EXCO of Housing, Communication & Multimedia, Azman Bin Adnan, Director of Johor Education Department, Faisal Bin Long, Director of Orang Asli Development, Rosnan Fathlal, Chairman of JPA, Marco Neelsen, Chief Executive Officer of PTP and Mario Alberto Martinez, Managing Director of PTIS.


With the aim to bring reading and studying activities in a comfortable and conducive setting closer to more than 80 students of the school, of which many of them come from the Orang Asli community, the Container Library project was initiated after a thorough study made by PTP and JPA found that the school had not had a proper functioning library due to lack of space and unfitting facilities.


The project that began in August 2019, saw a total of nearly 100 volunteers from all three organisations joining forces to make the project a success.


The 40‘ x 40’ refurbished container is equipped with air conditioning system and complete with book racks, chairs, table and a wide range of publications, including children’s books and reference books. The library can accommodate up to 30 students at one time and can also be converted to an audio visual or activity room.


PTP community outreach program such as the container library aims to build meaningful relationship with the company’s stakeholders whilst offering PTP employees a chance to give something back to the community.
