CORPORATE ACTIVITIES YEAR 2020

1. Nurturing ‘[L]ove [I]n [O]ur [N]eighbourhood’ with Sekolah Kebangsaan Kangka Tebrau, Johor Bahru.

United Nations introduced The Sustainable Development Goals with 17 goals designed as a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. In line with the goals, we chose to adopt Sekolah Kebangsaan Kangka Tebrau (SKKT) in Johor Bahru in order to support them in all aspects. SKKT was selected because we want to nurture the spirit ‘[L]ove [I]n [O]ur [N]eighbourhood’ with the community near us. SKKT is the oldest school in the vicinity of the Southern Lion Sdn. Bhd. and most of the students are from middle to lower income background. We plan to support them by providing awareness programs on personal hygiene via the Lion Dental Health Program and Hand Washing Activities as well as other educational programs in collaboration with the school and teachers. This school adoption program will carried out for 2 years starting from 2020 until 2021. We have planned many activities together with the teachers to spark the students’ interest in education and extracurricular activities. Among planned activities are educational visit to Kidzania Kuala Lumpur, sports day, friendly match and festive celebration and much more. We also plan to upgrade some facilities to provide a better learning environment for the students.

The event starts with a parade while singing praises to the Prophet Muhammad. The presence of a celebrity speaker, Ustaz Mohammed Hanafiah Abdul Malek sharing his knowledge about Islam and the life of our beloved Prophet Muhammad makes the program more meaningful.

Our beloved Managing Director, Mr. Kazuo Mabuchi also came to grace the program.

6. Southern Lion Putting Employee’s Health as Top Priority

Since the Covid 19 pandemic, Southern Lion has been conducting periodic health screening for all our employees, foreign and contract alike. We had recently conducted an additional round of health screening after the recent Hari Raya Haji holidays break. Many of our employees travelled during the long break. This health check would help identify if there are any high-risk groups amongst the employees, which includes checks on body temperature, the oxygen level in the blood, and lung health. This is carried out to ensure all employees’ health is not compromised and provide a safe and hygienic environment to welcome them back after the holiday break.
