Our involvement has undoubtedly brought joy to those we serve.” NORIZAN JAAFAR Assistant Vice President, Group Finance, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad “I would like to express my gratitude to the organising team for giving me the opportunity to participate in this voluntary work and to experience the happiness and fulfilment that comes from volunteering. I had the pleasure of visiting a cookie bakery where most of the staff were hearing-impaired, yet their baking skills were truly remarkable and their manners were impeccable. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcomed us with open arms, eager to share their knowledge and expertise. This experience taught me about communicating with people with disabilities, working in a team, and the benefits of volunteering. I have already shared my experience with my colleagues, friends, and family and I encourage others to take advantage of such opportunities in the future.” ANURADHA D/O KUMARAN Associate, Group Procurement, Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad HEAR FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS KEY VOLUNTEERING ACTIVITIES With the introduction of the volunteering mechanism in 2022, we managed to log a total of 2,382 hours of volunteering service through outreach programmes to local communities.
