Petron Malaysia and MyKasih team up to help the needy

KUALA LUMPUR: Petron Malaysia teamed up with MyKasih Foundation for the “PetronMyKasih Jom Derma” donation programme to give Petron Miles (PMiles) cardholders a chance to donate their points for a good cause.

From May 7 until Aug 31, each P-Miles point donated will be converted into cash and vested into MyKasih Foundation.

Through the Foundation, B40 families can purchase groceries and other necessities from more than 250 retail store partners including Mydin, Tesco, Giant, Econsave, The Store, Aeon, 99 Speedmart, and TF Value Mart.

Every 500 PMiles points donated will be converted into RM5, while every 1000 PMiles points into RM10.

Customers may donate in multiples of RM5 or RM10 at all Petron service stations through the sales counter.

Petron Malaysia Head of Retail and Commercial Business Choong Kum Choy the programme would help alleviate the hardship faced by B40 families affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

"Working together with MyKasih Foundation, we will be providing our customers the opportunity to help by donating their PMiles points to those in need.

"Our PMiles card is more than just a loyalty card that provides members with attractive rewards; it also now allows members to share their points with needy families from as low as 500 P-Miles points, which converts to a gift of RM5,” he said.

“Using the PMiles card to contribute is easy and convenient as our customers can do so whenever they are at our stations. And for the benefit of those who contribute, the donations will be issued with tax-exempt receipts from MyKasih,” added Choong.

MyKasih Foundation is a Government-approved charitable organisation which was incepted in 2009.

It has channelled RM280mil worth of aid to more than 300,000 low-income households and students nationwide.
