“This year, Prolintas has collaborated with the Shah Alam Municipal Council (MBSA) in organizing the distribution of Qurban meat in Shah Alam,” he said.
Mohammad Azlan added that the group has also donated Qurban meat to the needy employees from the local authorities as well as to families along Prolintas Highway alignment in the Shah Alam area.
“This is part of a continuous series of CSR programmes that have been co-organised by both parties which include Shah Alam Trees For Life and Earth Hour” said Mohammad Azlan during the Qurban meat distribution at MBSA.
Also present were Shah Alam deputy mayor Mohd Rashidi Ruslan and Selangor state executive council member Izham Hashim.
Mohammad Azlan said Prolintas worked with Lembaga Zakat Selangor on the list of needy families who were eligible to receive the Qurban meat so that no recipients will be left behind.
