At the Group’s Ladang Ayer Hitam in Johor, 0.25 acres of
land plus resources such as seeds and fertiliser have been
allocated by the estate management for employees to
cultivate lemongrass, chillies, ginger and turmeric. Meanwhile,
in Ladang Kota Tinggi, employees use the land to grow
bananas, vegetables and corn (when in season). At the end
of the harvest, they get to take their produce home for their
consumption.
The Company had subsidised the cost of enrolment in the

online revision site that can help students to get the best

In February 2018, Group employees and their family
members helped plant 200 bakau kurap or rhizophora
mucronata saplings at the Kuala Selangor Nature Park as
part of the efforts to sustain and conserve the mangrove
ecosystem. Participants were also briefed on the importance
of mangroves to the ecosystem as they serve as a barrier
against tidal waves and erosion; and play a vital role in
stabilising the climate as they are a major carbon sink and
oxygen source.
“
I had a great time during the
excursion. I learned many things,
mostly how the mangroves have
help the people, protect the
community, and give life to living
creatures. I can’t wait to see how
big the saplings have grown, from
when we planted them this year!
