CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY REPORT
Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad (TCMH) always believes in the principle of giving back to the
community. Thus, it has continuously supported organisations that require assistance to sustain and
improve their activities and efforts for the welfare of their beneficiaries. Education remains TCMH’s
Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) focus as we believe that a future generation well-equipped
with knowledge is the key to the development of the nation’s economy and prospects.
In 2014, the Group had undertaken the following major CSR
activities both locally and overseas:
Day Care Centre: SJK (C) Sg. Chua, SJK (C) Sg. Way and
Persatuan Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Kajang
TCMH started these programmes by adopting the first
day care centre at SJK (C) Sg. Chua, Kajang in 2008 and
increased the support to 3 similar centres by end of 2014
including the day care centre run by SJK (C) Sg. Way and
Kajang children welfare society. These day care centres
focus in helping children of single parent or guardian to
alleviate the burden of these parents or guardians in caring
for their children.
At the day care centre, the children are provided with healthy
meals and a caretaker/teacher to assist them with their
homework and studies. Counselling is also provided to children
who faced problems at home or school. These enhanced the
children’s self-esteem as reflected in their improved school
examination results. Placing children in the above-mentioned
day care centres give their parents and guardians the peace
of mind that their children are cared for in a safe and secured
environment while they are away at work.
The Group donated a Nissan Urvan to the home for
transporting the younger children to school and the senior
residents to their medical check-up at hospital.
Rumah Penyayang Wadi Sakinah
Rumah Penyayang Wadi Sakinah is a welfare home situated
in Merbok, Kedah which houses, feeds and educates the
underprivileged, orphans and senior citizens who have no
family to care for them. It also helps in guiding teenagers
who dropped out of school and are exposed to negative
influences. They are taught living skills which will help them
to obtain jobs when they leave the home.
Employee Voluntary Programme – “Bettering Lives”
The Group’s CSR’s initiatives were embraced by its
employees too. The Group’s Employee Voluntary Programme
– “Bettering Lives” organised a charity fundraising event at
the premises of Tan Chong Headquarters. Bettering Lives
had invited 4 NGOs, namely Independent Living Training
Centre, Malaysian Association for the Blind, Malaysia
Society of the Blind and Malaysia Mental Health Association
to sell handmade products and art-crafts during this charity
event. The sales proceeds raised from among Tan Chong
staff during this fundraising event will help the NGOs to fund
their operating expenses. In addition to the items offered by
the NGOs, some employees brought home-baked goodies
while members of Tan Chong’s senior management donated
pre-owned valuable items to be sold.
Sale of the items sponsored by the employees raised a
collection of more than RM21,000/- which will be utilised to
fund future CSR activities by Bettering Lives. The first activity
that benefitted from this fundraising event was the excursion
to Kidzania in Petaling Jaya with the schoolchildren of SJK
(C) Sg. Chua. The schoolchildren enjoyed their trip to this
edutainment centre which the team hopes will inspire and
empower the children in their future ambitions.
