MRCS national chairman Tan Sri Tunku Puteri Intan Safinaz Almarhum Sultan Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah said #responsMALAYSIA was aimed at fighting the war against Covid-19 by providing a platform for individuals and corporate entities to contribute towards the procurement of essential items required by frontliners, as well as drive MRCS’s community engagement efforts. The initiative has received the support of Finance Minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz.
“While the government, healthcare workers and public services have been tirelessly working to deal with the situation, it is ultimately a crisis that requires us to step forward and act as one to control the pandemic effectively,” said Zafrul. Exim Bank chief executive officer Datuk Shahrul Nazri Abdul Rahim said with the launch of the initiative he hoped other financial institutions would follow suit.“We hope others will step forward to provide aid in any manner possible.”
MRCS said priority would be accorded to vulnerable groups like the Bottom 40 income group and the elderly.
