Representatives and volunteers from Perodua recently revisited Selayang Hospital’s paediatric ward to contribute medical equipment and distribute goodies to patients and staff.
The automaker contributed to the ward a pulse oximeter (oxygen measurement device) and three portable screens, as well as distributed money packets and gift bags containing stationery to around 100 child patients.
The children’s play area has also been given a new look, thanks to the volunteers who cleaned the area, painted the cabinets, replaced the wallpaper and ceiling. They also installed a smart TV and new flooring, and bought some new books and toys.
The refurbished play area features graphics with safety and environmental themes – topics which Perodua is passionate about. It plans to educate the child patients about safety and the environment through various activities in the coming years.
“As a People First company and a caring brand, Perodua is always looking for long-term and sustainable ways we can help and contribute to the people,” said Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad.
“Our efforts do not stop here – we have lots of activities planned for the children in the coming years, including story-telling, movie screenings, puzzle games and origami. We are also looking at doing a book donation drive to populate the play area’s library,” he added.
The automakers last visited the Hospital Selayang in February, when it contributed three pulse oximeters and six portable screens, as well as distributed money packets and gift bags.
