Dear The Hub Readers,
As we cross the halfway mark of 2025, we are delighted to present another edition of The Hub, bringing you updates from across MMC Group over the past months. This issue highlights our Group's achievements and initiative, from stakeholder engagements to industry awards and sustainability efforts that reflect our commitment to continuous growth and innovation.
A key highlight this quarter was the inaugural MMC Friendship Half Marathon 2025, which gathered 6,000 runners at Forest City, making it Johor's largest running event to date. We were also delighted to see strong participation from our own MMC Group employees, reflecting the passion and commitment of our people toward health and community well-being. In total, more than 8,000 people gathered at the lively race village, including runners, supportive family members and enthusiastic locals who came together to celebrate health and community spirit.
Penang Port Sdn Bhd marked a significant milestone by celebrating five (5) million ferry riders. The ferry service continues to serve as a vital transportation link, connecting thousands of commuters and tourists daily. Penang Port remains committed to enhancing this essential service, ensuring seamless connectivity and a positive travel experience for all.
Our commitment to sustainability was also evident across the Group.
