Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Is an important aspect of companies operating in a fast changing environment.

​

To get closer to the community that it seeks to operate, companies should not forget its social responsiblity to the people that it reaches out to.

 

Whether in the form of scholarships, donations or even sponsoring of events, companies stand to gain much from its CSR activities in the long term.

It is a simple but gentle way of creating brand awareness and making the company appear more friendly to its customer base.

Most of the community services were done during Ng’s tenure with private education institutions. Other community projects were done under the umbrella of Grace Assembly Petaling Jaya, Methodist Boys Secondary School (Kuala Lumpur) and the Lions Club of Kuala Lumpur Central.

Edu Van 

An old van was turned into a vehicle for marketing, branding and CSR purposes for an institution of higher learning. College students were recruited as the EduJays to visit schools. Very soon, the Eduvan became the hype in secondary schools.
 

Project Restoration

This tree planting project has this as its basis:

• When development comes to an area, trees are being chopped down

• The drug addict, in very much the same fashion, is removed from society because of his addiction.

• Once rehabilitated, it takes time for the former drug addict to be “accepted” by the society.

​

The act of planting the trees is therefore a symbol of reconciliation, between the former drug dependent addict, with the police, who once was their enemy and the rest of the community. Trees are re-planted back to society, a gesture that means a lot to the former drug dependent.
