Zurich Malaysia contributes RM60,000 zakat to Yayasan EZ Prihatin, enhancing support for underprivileged communities

Zurich Malaysia, through Zurich’s general takaful arms, continues its commitment to supporting underprivileged communities in the country by distributing RM60,000 of zakat to Yayasan EZ Prihatin (YEZP). This contribution exhibits Zurich Malaysia’s brand ethos ‘Care For What Matters’ and its dedication to making a positive impact on society.

Shamsul Azman, Chief Executive Officer of Zurich General Takaful Malaysia Berhad (ZGTMB), said, "In today's challenging economic environment, we recognise and empathise with the community's needs and the struggles faced by the underprivileged. We are proud to support YEZP in their admirable efforts to uplift and assist those in need throughout Malaysia. We will ensure that we fulfil our zakat obligation for our Zurich’s family and general takaful arms, and hope that our humble contribution will alleviate and ease the burden faced by the underprivileged families."

Zurich Malaysia has consistently been involved in initiatives aimed at environmental conservation, financial literacy programs, flood mitigation efforts and community engagement. Likewise, YEZP has made notable strides in offering educational support and healthcare services to marginalised communities. Together, this joint effort not only embodies Zurich's global strategy for nurturing sustainable communities but also showcases the impactful contributions of corporate social responsibility in creating a more inclusive and supportive society.
