KUALA LUMPUR, 14 JULY 2020 – Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Berhad (BPMB) recently contributed 5,000 sets of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to Sabah State Health Department. The PPE sets were presented by BPMB’s Chief Compliance Officer, Suffian Abdul Rahman to Datuk Dr. Christina Rundi, Director of Sabah State Health Department.

The contribution of the PPE sets was made in collaboration with Yayasan Ikhlas and is part of BPMB’s initiative in assisting medical front liners who have been fighting theCOVID-19 pandemic since it hit Malaysia in January 2020. Through the collaboration, BPMB funded the project while Yayasan Ikhlas was responsible for the production and delivery of the completed PPE sets to the targeted recipients. The presentation was witnessed by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Yayasan Ikhlas, Dato’ Mohd Rosli Ramli.

BPMB hopes that the contribution of the PPE sets will ease the burden and protect the nation’s medical front liners and this simultaneously demonstrates the Bank’s solidarity in assisting the Government in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. The PPE sets will be distributed by Sabah State Health Department to hospitals handling COVID-19 cases in the state.
