Boustead Properties Berhad (Boustead Properties), together with Klinik Segara reached out to the many volunteers at the Multimedia University (MMU) Cyberjaya's Integrated Mega Vaccine Delivery Centre (PPV) through its #BousteadCares initiative by providing 1,800 dinner boxes over 30 days.

The initiative began on 23 August 2021, it was aimed to assist and support the volunteers who have been helping out at the PPV, enduring prolonged hours in order to ensure the process and operation there ran smoothly.

Boustead Properties Chief Operating Officer Eason Phan said, "During this unprecedented situation, we remain committed to supporting the noble efforts by volunteers at the vaccination centre whose selfless deed is for the greater good of the country.

“Having to deal with thousands of people from all walks of life throughout the day can take a toll. So we want them to know that their sacrifices are not in vain, and this contribution of hearty and nutritious meals prepared by our subsidiary, Royale Chulan Hotels & Resorts, is our way of demonstrating our appreciation to the volunteers whose efforts are invaluable,” he said.

The MMU PPV administers close to 1,500 vaccine doses daily since it started operations on 15 July 2021. The volunteers comprise medical frontliners and university students who were eager to help their communities regain a sense of normal life that many expected once the country achieves herd immunity.

Klinik Segara Group Senior Partner Dr. Malkit Singh Sekhon said, "We are grateful to work with a caring corporate entity like Boustead Properties who has been compassionate about extending a helping hand to those struggling during the pandemic.

"After a long and exhausting day, these meals will truly be a treat for the volunteers. Achieving herd immunity via vaccination is a national goal, and by collaborating with like-minded companies, we are getting closer to this goal each day," he said, adding that Klinik Segara has been a tenant of the Curve Shopping Mall for the last 16 years.

As the National Recovery Plan and vaccination drive gain momentum, Eason added that the Group intends to continue playing its part to help fellow Malaysians and the nation flatten the curve.

During the pandemic, Boustead Properties has embarked on various #BousteadCares CSR activities including giving aid to the flood victims in Johor, helping the underprivileged communities in Klang Valley and Semenyih, food donation to the frontliners, motorbike donation to the Balai Polis in Semenyih, as well as assisting firms and retailers with the aims at contributing to the well-being of society and the nation.
