Being a caring corporate citizen, the Light Hotel Penang again stood up to its social responsibilities to come to the aid of the medical frontliners and the needy community.
Their effort is even more significant as it is recognised to be the first hotel in Malaysia to collaborate with Yayasan MyPrihatin in support with the Seberang Jaya constituency to contribute RM20,000 worth of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
“We are glad to help show our valiant medical frontliners in Hospital Seberang Jaya, Penang that they’re never alone, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said The Light Hotel (M) Sdn Bhd, Dato’ Haji KK Sihabutheen Kirudu Mohamed.
Meanwhile, the general manager of the Light Hotel , Raj Kumar added that through Yayasan MyPrihatin’s platform Projek Prihatin under Program Jana Ekonomi Prihatin, they were able to produce PPE to protect our medical frontliners who have sacrificed their energy and personal safety to look after their patients.

Under the Projek Prihatin initiative, some 15 single mothers from Pusat Menjahit DUN Seberang Jaya under the helm of state assemblyman Dr. Afif bin Bahardin were involved in the production of the PPEs.
Apart from extending their support to the frontliners, they were also able to provide the opportunity for these individuals to generate income during economic difficulties brought on by the pandemic.
The contribution complements recent initiatives by The Light Hotel Penang through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) which had contributed 10,000 shower caps to aid staff in Hospital Seberang Jaya as well.
“We are hopeful this will help hospitals and healthcare front-liners mitigate the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in Penang and Malaysia,” added Raj.
Kudos to the Light Hotel management and its capable team for coming to the assistance of the medical frontliners and also the impoverished local community in time of need.
