BERNAS Elevates Ramadan Spirit With Community Engagement

As Ramadan unfolds, Padiberas Nasional Berhad (BERNAS), a prominent figure in the rice industry, continues its tradition of uplifting Malaysian communities. Through a series of heartfelt initiatives, BERNAS demonstrates a deep commitment to fostering authentic connections and meaningful impact, surpassing conventional Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) endeavors.

Gema Ramadan: Strengthening Community Bonds

BERNAS kickstarted its Gema Ramadan initiatives with a touching “Buka Puasa Sungkai Programme.” Led by BERNAS Chairman, Dato’ Sri Rohani Abdul Karim, volunteers and mosque committees collaborated to distribute 1,500 packs of bubur lambuk at Ramadan bazaars in Taman Sukma, Matang, and the Darul Hana Mosque.

Additionally, 150 Asnaf families received essential food boxes. BERNAS further solidified community ties by organizing an Iftar event at Darul Hana Mosque, bringing together 300 community members and BERNAS management.

Spreading Eid Joy Across Regions

After spreading Ramadan joy in East Malaysia, BERNAS extended its efforts to the Peninsular, sharing the spirit of Eid with asnaf families and farmers in Yan, Kedah. Over 50 asnaf enjoyed a Raya shopping experience in Alor Setar, while local farmers received bubur lambuk, celebrating the festive season together.

Dato’ Sri Rohani reiterated BERNAS’ commitment to community welfare, emphasizing that corporate social responsibility is ingrained in the company’s DNA. BERNAS prioritizes giving back, uplifting, and creating lasting impact, standing in solidarity with Malaysians during Ramadan.

Under the banner of IKHLAS, BERNAS’ flagship CSR program, the company is dedicated to community development and empowerment. Initiatives like Program Makanan Kesihatan (PROMAK), a school lunch feeding program, and Program Rakan Ladang (PRL), which fosters sustainable agro-industry practices with local farmers, reflect BERNAS’ genuine commitment to uplifting lives and ensuring food security.

Investing In Shared Prosperity

With a pledge of RM60 million to enhance the welfare of paddy farmers nationwide, BERNAS demonstrates its belief in shared prosperity. The recent price adjustment for imported white rice further reinforces BERNAS’ dedication to supporting the food security agenda.
