Perodua also donated 150 mattresses, 200 pillows, 105 boxes of mineral water, 15 industrial fans and 300 pairs of rubber boots to the Sungai Buloh Hospital to aid in the ongoing fight against the contagion.
“This war against Covid-19 is a shared responsibility. The funds and items contributed by Perodua are part of our ongoing efforts to ensure Malaysia will recover as fast as it can,” said Perodua president and chief executive officer Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad.
The contribution was presented by Zainal to Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at his office earlier today.
The fund was launched by the Prime Minister on March 11 with the aim of aiding citizens who were most vulnerable to the impact of the March 18-April 14 movement control order (MCO).
The fund would help the unemployed and those who have been badly affected by the MCO.
The government also recently introduced the Prihatin Rakyat Stimulus Package to further help Malaysians affected by Covid-19.
“We are committed to the social distancing measures enforced by the authorities to ensure the spread of the virus is contained. To our customers in particular and all Malaysians in general, please stay indoors and stay healthy,” said Zainal.
