LABUAN: Yayasan Petronas brought some early Hari Raya cheer to 150 families here through the distribution of festive food supplies, under its 'Memacu Kehidupan: Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2023' programme.
Supported by the Social Welfare Department, the programme goes along with the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry's Bakul Rahmah initiative.
The programme provides basic food necessities and festive food supplies such as glutinous rice, coconut milk, rendang paste and peanut sauce to the recipients.
This year's distribution also includes Petronas gift cards from Petronas Dagangan Bhd for the beneficiaries to purchase fuel or Kedai Mesra items at Petronas stations.
The handing over of the 'Memacu Kehidupan' items took place recently at Petronas Chemicals Methanol Sdn Bhd, attended by Petronas president and group chief executive officer, Datuk Tengku Muhammad Taufik.
Head of Petronas Sabah and Labuan, Siti Ayu Abdul Wahab, said through the 'Memacu Kehidupan' initiative, Yayasan Petronas extended necessities aimed at improving the well-being of the local communities.
"We understand the festive season can be difficult for the less fortunate and Yayasan Petronas is committed to doing its part to make the season a little brighter for these individuals and families.
"Our 'Memacu Kehidupan' programme is designed to provide not just food, but to also bring about a sense of community and support during the festive season," she said in a statement today (Apr 18). – BERNAMA
