Sharing important news and updates for you and the community Back Malakoff Selected As Finalist for PwC Malaysia's Building Trust Awards 2017 6 September 2017 Kuala Lumpur, 6 September 2017 – Malakoff Corporation Berhad (Malakoff) was selected as one of the finalists in PwC Malaysia’s Building Trust Awards 2017 that was held last night at Hilton Kuala Lumpur. Malakoff is among an elite group of 20 leading Malaysian organizations short-listed through its robust assessment and judging process. During the event, Sime Darby Bhd was crowned the winner for its efforts in building trust with its stakeholders. Amongst the finalists, other than Malakoff, were Alliance Financial Group Berhad, Astro Malaysia Holdings Berhad, Axiata Group Berhad, CIMB Group Holdings Berhad, DiGi.com Berhad, Fraser & Neave Holdings Berhad, Gamuda Berhad, IHH Healthcare Berhad, Malayan Banking Berhad (Maybank), Maxis Berhad, Nestlé (Malaysia) Berhad, PETRONAS, Public Bank Berhad, SP Setia Berhad, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Telekom Malaysia Berhad, Westports Holdings Berhad and YTL Corporation Berhad. Conceived in 2015 with the inaugural Awards, the Building Trust Awards assesses how companies perform in their corporate reporting as well as how they are perceived in the eyes of their stakeholders including customers and investors. The Awards are the first in Malaysia to employ a distinctive way of measuring trust, beyond the financials of the companies assessed. The companies were selected and then evaluated by PwC before a final shortlist of 20 is presented for face-to-face deliberation by an independent panel of judges that comprises regulators and “thought leaders” in corporate reporting and building trust issues. PwC Malaysia managing partner, Sridharan Nair said that the winning companies had shown that building trust begins with a conscious effort to engage important stakeholders. He added that the winning companies had also demonstrated a keen understanding of how trust can promote business growth. “The time is ripe for businesses to close the trust gap and rebuild faith in institutions, as the world at large continues to be weighed down by declining levels of trust in governments, institutions and businesses,” said Sri. Speaking on the Awards, Habib Husin, Acting Chief Executive Officer of Malakoff, said that being selected as a finalist was a recognition of Malakoff’s efforts in being a good corporate citizen. “Malakoff has been in the power industry for more than two decades and we endeavor to implement the best practices in our reporting, including clear disclosure of strategic priorities, linked to quantifiable KPIs and a broad overview of the business outlook. In addition to that, we continually strive to give a good impact to the local communities where we operate,” he added.

Sharing important news and updates for you and the community Back The Power People 11 September 2008 It’s been ages since the last time I’ve been a spectator of this event. And certainly the magic is still there. You’d think that having seen it once is enough and that a repetition of the event would mean the repeat of the same thing - racers fainting at the finish line, racers puking on the running course, their faces contorting to show their moods while cycling uphill at Jambatan Permaisuri Bainun.. that sort of thing. Having been delegated the job of Honorary Photographer, I made sure I took enough photos of the Malakoff gang that day. A tough task especially when not all of them are doing the same categories. The sprint racers finished between 2 hours to 3 hours, the full distance racers can finish up to the cut-off time of 5 hours or even more. On the first run, I bumped into a photographer from Sin Chew Daily who happened to be a friend of mine. He imparted me with tips on taking sports photos which helped me a lot and I managed to get nice photos of the athletes in action. I repaid his kindness with a motorcycle ride to the highest bridge on the bike course, courtesy of the organizers. So we hopped on separate motorcycles and rode pillion to the bridge where we got pretty nice views of athletes suffering on the bike course. I can always tell the kaki’s (the hardcores) from the casual athletes. The hardcores are normally geeky about their bikes and attires, while the casual athletes are rather laid back, wearing anything comfortable to them, normally not as colour-co-ordinated as the hardcores. It’s not always the case that the hardcores can finish faster than the casuals - this is not a beauty pageant. It’s a display of courage, hard-headedness, perseverance and physical ability all bundled into one. That’s the beauty of this sports, it’s not restricted to runners, not restricted to cyclists. As long as you are fit enough not to faint on the course, and you can cycle (you also need not own a bicycle - a loaned bike would suffice), you can be a part of this sports called duathlon. Even for triathlon, it is important to know how to swim (doesn’t matter whatever your style is) and that’s the barrier that keeps casual athletes from getting into triathlons. In my current injured state (I’m suffering from knee pain at the moment) where I’m advised to refrain from running and just to cycle on flat road for the time being, I contemplated on joining the sprint distance because I could always walk-bike-walk, but no, it would take me ages to complete the course. Thus I decided to save it for another year. Oh, the temptation of participating in this 'suffer-fest' was too much but I had to be logical and listen to my body. It was fascinating to see people from all walks of life participating in Powerman and I guess that’s the magic behind this sports - from school children to middle-aged men/women to mother-of-two (national duathlete, Mariana Mohammad has 2 children of her own and she’s in the top 5 placing in the Women Elite category) - all are able to do it. Mariana Mohammad Some racers even expressed their gratitude to Malakoff for organizing such event. For them, where triathlon is a little far-fetched due to their limited swimming abilities and where the distance for running and cycling races respectively sometimes can be a little daunting, duathlon is able to provide them with the extra ’suffering’ that always managed to give them the extra endorphin ‘kicks’. The professionals at Powerman And they hope that in the future, Malakoff will continue to sponsor such events, big or small, as a part of its corporate social responsibility to encourage more Malaysians to exercise and lead a healthier lifestyle. To all finishers, Congratulations! You are a Powerman!

The programme saw 130 students explore and learn from places such as Kidzania, Petrosains, Pusat Sains Negara and High 5 Bread Museum. Organised for the 12th consecutive time, Malakoff invested RM80,000 this year for the Learning Beyond The Classroom programme, offering young students learning opportunities outside of their everyday school routine. Since the inaugural trip in 2001, Malakoff has sponsored close to RM960,000 for the programme, benefiting over 1480 students from all the adopted schools. Speaking about the trip, Zainal Abidin Jalil, the Chief Executive Officer of Malakoff said, “Malakoff’s Learning beyond the Classroom initiative is an integral component of our Company’s flagship Corporate Social Responsibility platform – the Malakoff Community Partnerships. This is in line with our commitment to promote academic excellence among eager students through various educational tools.” “We recognise the importance of making learning fun through various platforms and we want to do our part to help the students in this. Field trips allow students to experience first-hand what they study from their text books, thus enhancing and stimulating their interest in learning even further,” he added. This year, the Standard Six students were selected from Malakoff’s ten adopted schools located near Malakoff’s operations. The participating schools included SK Segari, SJK (C) Pei Min, SJK (T) Ladang Huntly in Lumut, SK Khir Johari, SJK (C) Chung Hwa, SJK (T) Prai in Seberang Prai, together with SK Sg Boh, SK Seri Sinaran Chokoh, SK Andek Mori, SJK (C) Pei Chiao in Pontian Johor. Student, Farah Najihah Purba binti Muhd Hasan, from SJK (C) Pei Chiao, Pontian, enjoyed attending the educational trip. "The visit to Kidzania was the most enjoyable as I was able to try out many 'professions' that I have never dreamed of," said Farah, who aspired to be a doctor someday. Although she has been to the Klang Valley a few times before, this was the first time she was taken around to visit places of interests. For student Thoga Lingam from SJK (T) Ladang Huntly, Lumut, the educational trip was like a dream come true. Born to parents who are both labourers, he is determined to work hard to become a scientist one day and improve the living conditions of the family. The visit to Petrosains opened his eyes and fueled his interest in science and technology as he and his friends explored the huge centre and soaked in the valuable knowledge from the exhibits. In addition to organising annual school excursions for its adopted schools, Malakoff also allocates RM200,000 each year under its Education Fund to provide better academic facilities for these schools. Under this Fund, the schools are able to apply to Malakoff for development and improvement of facilities such as sports complex, libraries as well as science and computer laboratories. Encik Mohd Fauzan Bin Ishak from SJK(C) Chung Hwa 3, Prai said, “The Learning beyond the Classroom programme provides our students with a great outdoor learning opportunity while building closer bonds with their peers.” “We are truly grateful to Malakoff for their continuous effort to motivate students to excel in their studies through such trips. The smiles and excitement on the students’ faces were priceless,” he expressed. Over and above the Learning Beyond The Classroom programme, students from the adopted schools were also involved in other initiatives such as Malakoff’s ‘Kenali Penyu, Sayangi Penyu’ programme. Additionally, Malakoff has rolled out another initiative called ‘Project Sunshine’, through which 5.23 kilowatt-peak (kWp) photo-voltaic systems is being installed at selected schools across Malaysia.

The event took place on 15-16th October 2022 at KL East Mall and was officiated by the Deputy Director-General of DOE, Dr. Norhazni binti Mat Sari. The International E-Waste Day was introduced in 2018 through the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (“WEEE”) Forum to raise awareness on WEEE recycling and promote the importance of disposing E-Waste through the right channels to avoid hazardous environmental pollutants. In Malaysia, E-Waste is categorised as scheduled waste under the code SW 110, First Schedule, Environmental Quality (Scheduled Waste) Regulation 2005. The Group was joined by its subsidiary, Alam Flora Environmental Solutions (“AFES”) who organised several fun activities related to the company’s sustainability initiatives. Ms Nurul Akmar bt Abdul Karim of AFES also delivered a Pocket Talk on the company’s role as a sustainability partner. During the event, winners of an E-Waste-themed choral speaking competition from participating schools were also present to showcase their talents. The competition was organised nationwide by DOE as part of their initiative to instil environmental awareness among school children. Malakoff’s participation in this event is in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goal No. 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production which focuses on decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation, increasing resource efficiency and promoting sustainable lifestyles. We need to do our part by reusing and recycling as much as possible, and we truly hope that this initiative will further instil awareness and encourage everyone to play their role in addressing the global e-waste issue.
