SUBANG JAYA, 9th February 2021 – The Malaysia Retail Chain Association (MRCA) under the leadership of past MRCA President, Dato’ Tay Sim Kim, set up the MRCA Branding Education Charity Foundation in the year 2010 with the RM1 million fund raised. With the set-up of this Foundation, the MRCA started to work on giving back to the society through visitations and donations to Charitable Homes during Malaysia’s main festive seasons – Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and Christmas.
One of Foundation’s main projects is to give back to the community. In conjunction with the forthcoming Chinese New Year celebration, the MRCA Foundation has donated a total of RM10,000 to 5 selected NGOs as listed below:
2. Beautiful Gate
3. Persatuan Insan Istimewa Cheras Selangor
4. Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Istimewa Insan (PKKII)
5. Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-kanak Terencat Akal Malaysia – IQ70Due to the current pandemic situation, we did not organize for a visitation like we used to. We hope that with these donations, we can promote awareness amongst our community on the importance of reaching out and helping the less fortunate and underprivileged. With the blessings we receive, we should always strive to give back to the community from time to time to show our love and support towards our society.
In addition, the MRCA also gives recognition fund to the children of members and staff who have achieved excellent results for UPSR, PT3, SPM and STPM.
For further enquiries and information about this charity donation, please do not hesitate to contact the MRCA Secretariat at 03-5882 4333 or email to [email protected]
