KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 (Bernama) -- Allianz Malaysia Berhad (Allianz Malaysia) via its corporate social responsibility (CSR) arm Allianz4Good, continues to support the Malaysia International Search and Rescue (MISAR) in its ongoing 2024 flood relief efforts. These efforts are focused on providing essential aids to communities across several flood affected states, including Terengganu, Kelantan, Pahang, Negeri Sembilan, and Melaka.

The devastating floods have caused disruption in these affected states and Allianz Malaysia’s contribution aims to alleviate the hardships faced by affected families. By partnering with MISAR, Allianz Malaysia seeks to support the relief efforts, ensuring that crucial resources reach those in urgent need.
 
Since October 2024, MISAR has been on the ground actively responding to the needs of flood-stricken areas. Their efforts have included the purchasing and packing of relief items, the deploying specialised response teams to affected locations, and distributing essential supplies such as dry food, hygiene products, pillows, towels, and diapers among others. These timely interventions are essential in providing immediate relief to those who have lost everything during the floods.

Head of Allianz4Good, Ng Siew Gek said, “We hope the contribution could provide needed assistance to those affected in flood and accommodates timely recovery.”

Founder of MISAR, Captain K. Balasupramaniam said, “Our commitment and consistency in providing flood relief aids have gained confidence among local communities in flood prone areas and this made our operation effective and successful.”

In addition to its relief support, Allianz Malaysia has been an ongoing partner in various MISAR initiatives throughout 2024. This includes the Public Flood Survival Programme, which educated and prepared 235 participants, aged 17 to 70 years with essential flood survivor knowledge and contributed a brand-new 4x4 Toyota Hilux ambulance that was specifically designed to handle the unique challenges of Malaysia's rugged terrains and flood-prone regions, thus enabling MISAR to access to geographically-challenging locations. 

Allianz Malaysia’s continued support to disaster relief reflects its commitment to social responsibility and community support. Through these flood relief initiatives, Allianz Malaysia, together with MISAR, hope to help communities not only recover from this disaster but also build resilience for the future.
