The Malakoff Coral Planting and Reef Clean-Up Project 2015 held from 28 to 30 August 2015, was aimed at highlighting the importance of coral in the marine ecosystem and to raise awareness and support from the local community on the threats that they are facing. The project was launched by Director of Research and Resource Inventory Department of JTLM, Abdul Muntalib bin Juli, who acknowledged Malakoff’s on-going effort of championing the rehabilitation of coral. “This is the fifth year of our collaboration with Malakoff involving the marine ecosystem. We have received positive feedbacks on the previous programs and this has spurred Malakoff to continue working with us on this noble effort.” “This year, the project is carried out in the coastal waters of Pulau Aur, Mersing, Johor. Pulau Aur is an important coral nursery in Malaysia as it has a conducive environment for the coral to propagate. According to statistics, it is the habitat of at least 183 types of corals and 232 reef-fish species. Pulau Aur is also the largest island in a group of 3 islands that reside in the Pulau Aur Marine Park,” added Abdul Muntalib in his speech. At the event, a contribution of RM30,000 from Malakoff was also handed out to Abdul Muntalib as the representative from JTLM for the project. During the 3-day event, 20 divers from JTLM and Malakoff participated in the cleaning of ghost nets and coral planting in the coastal waters of Pulau Aur. Total of 20 frames submerged into the coastal waters where divers planted coral nubbins to conserve the coral in the area. The Pulau Aur community, consisting of fishermen, students, private agencies and tourists also participated in marine awareness programs and were briefed on the importance of corals to the marine ecosystem. A special session symbolically called “Merdeka Dive” was carried out on 30th August, where the divers hoisted the Jalur Gemilang underwater during a reef clean-up to mark the celebration of Malaysia’s 58 years of independence. Speaking of the project, Chief Executive Officer of Malakoff, Dato’ Sri Syed Faisal Albar said the continuity of the project reflected Malakoff’s profound commitment to the Environment. “We are pleased with the enthusiastic involvement of the local communities in the Malakoff Coral Planting and Reef Clean-Up Project. Such collaboration with JTLM enables the communities to be a part of the project’s success while allowing us to build meaningful engagements with them.” “Malakoff’s previous environmental efforts in Pulau Mentinggi, Johor have generated positive impact to the community and the marine biodiversity in the surrounding areas. With the strong interest in conserving the ecosystem shown by the community in Pulau Aur, I’m positive that the same result can be replicated here,” he added. As a result of its commitment to the Environment, Malakoff has previously received several regional and national CSR awards on its environment efforts, namely the prestigious Anugerah Langkawi (2014) and Environment Week Special Appreciation (2013) by NRE, CSR of the Year Award (2013) by MIM, Asia Responsible Entrepreneurship Awards on Green Leadership (2013), Appreciation for Habitat Restoration Initiatives in conjunction with World Ocean Day (2012) by NRE and Prime Minister’s CSR Award in Environment (2010).

- Malakoff Plants 2,000 Mangrove Trees in Conjunction with National Environment Day
Sharing important news and updates for you and the community Back Malakoff Plants 2,000 Mangrove Trees in Conjunction with National Environment Day 21 October 2023 On 21 October 2023, Malakoff Corporation Berhad (“Malakoff”) planted 2,000 mangrove trees along the Sungai Pulai Mukim Sungai Karang bridge in Pontian, Johor as part of its contribution towards ‘The Planting of 181,000 Mangrove Trees in One Day Programme’ organised by the Pontian District Office, Johor. Held in conjunction with the National Environment Day that falls on the 21st of October of every year, the event was aimed inculcating awareness on the importance of environmental conservation among Malaysians and encouraging the act of tree planting. The event was officiated by Pegawai Daerah Pontian Yang Berusaha Tuan Haji Zainal bin Eran and attended by ADUN Benut Yang Berhormat Dato' Ir. Hasni bin Mohammad and ADUN Kukup Yang Berhormat Senator Dato' Haji Jefridin bin Haji Atan alongside other representatives from other companies that had also collaborated with the Pontian District Office for the same purpose. Mangroves play a vital role in protecting the environmental from extreme weather changes and significantly contributes to protecting the coastline from erosion. For communities who reside in areas close to bodies of water, growing a mangrove forest is essential to maintain quality water to be consumed as it traps sediments and filter pollutants that originate from activities in the surrounding areas. Mangroves also serve as the breeding grounds for various ocean-life species. Malakoff is no stranger to environmental conservation initiatives. In 2013, we planted 8,000 mangrove saplings in Seberang Perai, Pulau Pinang as part of the third phase of the company’s Mangrove Rehabilitation Project which was aimed at restoring the eroding ecosystem in the coastal region. Prior to that, 20,000 saplings were also planted in Mukim Serkat, Johor, adjacent to Malakoff’s Tanjung Bin Power Plant, while another 17,000 were planted in Tanjung Piai and Pulau Kukup National Parks. This collaboration is part of Malakoff’s commitment to environmental conservation, where we establish impactful partnerships for our Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) programmes, providing education and creating awareness on the importance of collective efforts in safeguarding the environment. It also aligns with the UN SDG Goal No. 14 – Life Below Water which aims to conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.
