MELAKA, Jan 18  -- Solid waste management and public cleansing service provider SWM Environment Sdn Bhd (SWM Environment) donated various electrical equipment worth RM750,000 to 3,000 flood-affected families in Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Johor.

SWM Environment Corporate general manager Mohd Norlisam Mohd Nordin said Melaka was the first state to receive donations of electrical appliances including refrigerators, table fans and rice cookers worth RM250,000 to be distributed to 800 flood-affected families.

"The contribution of electrical equipment is an addition to SWM Environment's CSR initiative that we have implemented previously, namely the cleaning of houses and premises affected by the recent floods, especially in the states where SWM offers its services.

"The donation of similar items for the people of Negeri Sembilan and Johor will be handed over soon," he told reporters after handing over the contributions to Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali here today.

Apart from that, he said SWM Environment also donated a total of 640 water jets to local authorities and related agencies to facilitate the cleaning of houses affected by floods in the future.

Earlier, Sulaiman said the Melaka government today handed over various necessity items and electrical equipment worth about RM500,000 to three district officers in the state which would be distributed to flood victims.

He said the state government also received contributions from other parties such as the Malaysian Furniture Council which donated items such as mattresses and bed frames worth RM207,100 and the OKU Sentral.
