McDonald's Malaysia shows appreciation to Covid-19 frontliners

KUALA LUMPUR: McDonald’s Malaysia is sponsoring food to about 50 hospitals nationwide on a regular schedule during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period.

“This is a trying time for the country, and we have to remember the frontliners who are out there every single day, risking their lives for us. Because of them, Malaysians are one step closer every day to fighting off this pandemic.

“Giving back to the communities we operate in has always been part of McDonald’s DNA. This is our way of helping in our own small way as we Malaysians go through this difficult time together,” said Azmir Jaafar, Managing Director and Local Operating Partner of McDonald’s Malaysia.

He said food sponsorship to hospitals by McDonald’s Malaysia will reach approximately 15,000 healthcare workers.

In addition to hospitals, McDonald’s Malaysia was also making regular food delivery to frontliners such as the police and army personnel all over the country.

Azmir said that McDonald’s Malaysia had also started a nationwide call to rally Malaysians together during the MCO period.

He said the #KitaBoleh concept that McDonald’s Malaysia started on their social media platforms was meant to leverage the spirit of all Malaysians to stand united and to keep the fighting spirit even during trying times.

#KitaBoleh is also a nationwide call to herald the silent bravery of the frontliners who were continuing their work as Malaysians stay home during the Movement Control Order (MCO) period, he added.
