MIRI: HAS International Sdn Bhd has announced its third consecutive year of Ramadan charitable initiatives, contributing RM18,000 to support local families and educational institutions here.
The company partnered with Tabung Baitulmal Sarawak (TBS) Miri to distribute food baskets worth RM8,000 to 80 asnaf families during an event held on March 2.
HAS International’s Managing Director, Hasery Bakar, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to Miri, describing the city as the backbone of its Malaysian operation.
“The support from this community has been incredible, and we’re committed to giving back and contributing to the growth and well-being of the people here.
“Our efforts reflect our dedication to creating a meaningful, lasting impact in Miri,” he said in a press statement released on Saturday (March 7).
Each basket contained daily essentials such as rice and cooking oil, aimed at easing household’s financial burden during the holy month.
Prior to the event, the company representatives made personal visits to three vulnerable families in the area.
One visit was to a teenage boy in Kampung Pulau Melayu who is caring for his three younger siblings while their father undergoes critical spinal cord treatment in Kuching.
Another family visited was a single mother in Sungai Baong raising seven daughters, one of whom is autistic, supporting them through selling homemade kuih.
The third was a couple whose husband’s health complications prevent him from taking on regular employment.
Beyond the food basket distribution, HAS International donated RM10,000 to Sekolah Rendah Islam Integrasi Tahfiz Miri (SRIITIZ), a community school offering academic and Islamic education to children aged seven to twelve.
Representatives visited the school on Saturday, engaging with administrators, teachers and students during the presentation event.
TBS Miri Department Head, Marini Juraibi, praised the collaboration for fostering genuine solidarity within the community.
“Partnerships such as this one with HAS International reflect a consistent and meaningful commitment to uplifting the asnaf community.
“It is through collaborations like these that we can create a lasting impact, not just by providing material assistance but by fostering solidarity and care within our society,” she said.
