Kota Kinabalu: Credit Guarantee Corporation Malaysia Berhad (CGC) held a charity dinner with 35 residents of Sabah Cheshire Home as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative in conjunction with the Kaamatan Festival. Sabah Cheshire Home is a private, non-profit and charitable organisation which provides care for individuals with disabilities irrespective of race, religion and culture, to help them to live independently.

"We are delighted to share the joy of the festival with the residents of Sabah Cheshire Home this evening.

This programme is one of our many initiatives in contributing and providing financial and moral support to the special members of the society, especially during the festive season," said CGC's Chief Operations Officer, Nazleena Nordin.

"We truly understand the significance of the festivals celebrated by the various ethnic groups.

This time of the year, we are reaching out to the community in Kota Kinabalu and we hope that our humble contribution will not only ease their financial burden but also give them hope, cheer and happiness during this joyous occasion," added Nazleena. A cash contribution of RM10,000 was also presented by Nazleena to the Manager of Sabah Cheshire Home, Jenifer Liew, at the dinner event in a hotel here on Friday.

"We appreciate CGC's generosity in organising a charity dinner for the residents of Sabah Cheshire Home and making a cash contribution to support our daily operations.

"In line with the Home's objective to create an enabling environment for our residents to lead a normal life within the society, every contribution makes a difference in their lives, especially during Kaamatan," said Liew.

CGC's Kaamatan CSR programme with Sabah Cheshire Home also saw the participation of CGC staff from both its headquarters in Kelana Jaya, Selangor as well as its Kota Kinabalu branch.

According to Nazleena, the CSR programme is an ongoing effort in fulfilling its responsibility as a responsible corporate citizen.

"By incorporating these values, we hope to engage with the society, be it our customers, stakeholders or society-at-large, in a meaningful way."

In support of various community segments in the country, CGC had organised CSR programmes in conjunction with major festivals in Malaysia. - Neil Chan
