KUALA LUMPUR, January 17 – foodpanda Malaysia, the country’s leading food delivery platform, has contributed to those affected by the recent East Coast floods by donating daily essentials worth RM50,000. This initiative by foodpanda Malaysia is also the second consecutive year that the organisation is partnering with the Ministry of Defence in the flood relief efforts. Commenting on this charitable initiative and generous donation.
Kelvin Chan, Director of Operations for foodpanda Malaysia said that the best part of being Malaysian is our sense of unity and togetherness, especially in the face of adversity. “Together with the Ministry of Defence, we hope to make a difference in society through all that we do. Though small, we believe that our efforts can go a long way in helping them deal with the after effects of the floods.” Some of the items sponsored by foodpanda Malaysia include daily essentials such as mineral water, biscuits, sanitary pads and more.
All these items are expected to be delivered and distributed by the Ministry to affected areas nationwide, with most of it targeted at critical areas in Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang. “The reason that we have chosen to partner with the Ministry of Defence this time around is because of their strong logistic capabilities to reach all those that have been affected.
