Canon Lends a Helping Hand

Canon Lends a Helping Hand | More and more companies are reaching out and lending their capable helping hands to the masses. The economic fallout of the pandemic threatens to devastate more livelihoods, especially among the vulnerable communities that are already struggling to provide food on the table for the family. 

Canon Marketing Malaysia (Canon) is the latest to join the bandwagon to assist the needy. Canon stepped up their effort with a joint contribution from its employee amounting to a whooping RM48,000 and came up with essential food items supplies for about 500 food-insecure households. The effort was carried out in six states, namely Selangor, Sabah, Sarawak, Pahang, Johor and Penang.

The effort is actually a united effort of the Canon employees and local non-profit organisations (NGOs). The effort, driven by Canon and its staff from the headquarters and 5 branch offices, along with seven NGOs in the aforementioned states, distributed the aid which consist of rice, flour, sugar, cooking oil, vercimelli noodle, condensed milk, salt, coffee and tea, biscuits and eggs to the households. And as of yesterday, all 500-odd families have received the food packages. 

"Giving back to the community is a fundamental spirit of our corporate philosophy, Kyosei which means living and working together for the common good. It has been a challenging and devastating year, but I'm heartened to see our staff members embodying the Kyosei spirit by helping the community as one. Through this food distribution initiative, we hope it would alleviate the stressful situation for those who are in dire need of food. We would also like to extend our deepest gratitude to the local NGOs who helped to facilitate the food package distributions," Mr Andrew Koh, the CEO and President at Canon Marketing Malaysia shared.

Recently, Canon also donated a multi-functional device (MFD) to Guru Shree Raghavendra Charity Home in Kulaijaya, Johor to enable better access to necessary learning materials for the children at the orphange. The MFD enables the children to make copies of the textbook and exercise notes to supplement their e-learning.

I hope to see more helping hands after this, as the people are getting tired and in need of assistance from everyone.
