As the Ramadan season is ongoing, IJM Land has once again launched its Program Mesra Ramadan, dedicated to alleviating the financial burdens of six underprivileged families in Seremban. This annual initiative underscores the commitment of the nation’s leading property developer to social responsibility by providing support to families in need, enabling these families to observe the holy month with peace of mind and also helping them prepare for the upcoming Raya celebration.
This year, IJM Land extends its support to six deserving families by providing them with essential items worth RM600, including rice, cooking oil, flour and cookies, along with RM1,000 as duit Raya. This gesture of goodwill is intended to ensure that these families, facing various life challenges, can partake in the festivities without the shadow of financial stress.
Mr Chai Kian Soon, Senior General Manager of IJM Land Berhad emphasised the importance of remembering and aiding those in difficult situations, especially during Ramadan and Raya, a time for spiritual renewal and purification.
Among the six local families, Mastura binti Abdul Rahim (56 years old) and Siti Haidawati binti Biseri (46 years old) are single mothers, each with their own set of challenges. Mastura, who has one child, suffers from diabetes and had her leg amputated, while Siti Haidawati, who has two schooling children, is battling kidney disease. Additionally, Sahrul Arifin bin Md Yunos (40 years old), a burger seller and his wife, Noor Anzalina binti Almarsi (41 years old), an immigration officer, carry the responsibility of raising four school-going children.
Furthermore, Mohd Hafiz bin Abdul Kader (40 years old) earns a minimal income as a security guard to support his two young children. Norazli bin Mohd Ishak (41 years old) who works as a personal driver also struggles financially to support his four children aged 5 to sixteen years old. Another recipient, Hanisah Binti Abdul Kader (46 years old) finds herself in a challenging situation as she raises two children and cares for her elderly father while her husband, Md Bahar Uddin Bin Mustafar (41 years old) earns a minimal wage as a security guard.
Through Program Mesra Ramadan, IJM Land aims not only to deliver immediate relief but also to inspire a broader culture of empathy and support within the community.
