53 people. One river. A reminder that the forest need protection more than ever.
We didn’t just release fish.
We didn’t just plant trees.
We also collected trash.
At Batu Hampar, Kerling, our Channel Management Department stepped out of the office and into nature. By the end, the river was a little cleaner, the forest a little stronger, and every one of us a little more aware.
This isn’t charity. It’s a choice. A choice to act on our ESG commitments.
A choice to move 12,000 steps forward.
A choice to leave things better than we found them.
Because when small actions multiply, the impact is never small.
Go, warga MBSB!

This includes initiatives such as the adoption of PPR HICOM and PPR Desa Tun Razak, the Box of Care programme, mangrove planting, turtle-hatching projects, and entrepreneurship activation through MBSB Bank and MIDF.
Two inspiring mini forums anchored the day: Malaysia’s Environmental Stewardship with Encik Kamarulzaman Bin Ahmad and Mr. L.S.

Nearly 40 volunteers from MBSB and SCOPURS spent the day at PPR Desa Tun Razak for Playscape Therapy, part of a collective 6,400 volunteer hours dedicated to the community this year.
The goal: create safe, engaging spaces for children from underserved backgrounds, especially those with developmental delays. With early intervention programmes often costing over RM200, access remains out of reach for many families.
By focusing on the early years (0–6), the programme encourages real-world play, reduces screen time, and equips parents with knowledge of their children’s developmental needs and rights.
We thank all volunteers who spend yet another Saturday giving back.

Today, MBSB Bank, and MDEC came together with one shared belief, which is that opportunity should never be a privilege.

153 passionate employees of MBSB’s Group Technology Division rolled up their sleeves at Long Beach, Redang Island for a meaningful beach cleanup! Together, we removed 10kg of waste from the shorelines, helping restore the natural beauty of one of Malaysia’s most treasured islands.
Trash doesn’t just pollute - it harms marine life, disrupts ecosystems, and endangers wildlife that mistakes plastic for food or get trapped in debris. Cleanups like these are more than just removing litter; they’re about protecting biodiversity and ensuring a healthier planet for future generations.
At MBSB, we believe in sustainable actions that safeguard Malaysia’s natural wonders. By preserving Redang Island’s pristine beaches, we’re not just protecting marine habitats, we’re ensuring that visitors worldwide can continue to experience the breathtaking beauty of our shores.
15 June
We launched Playscape Therapy at PPR Desa Tun Razak in partnership with SCOPURS. A space for real, sensory play; the kind many of us grew up with, but out of reach for many B40 families today, either for lack of space or means, as these are often highly priced sessions.
This year alone, we’ve supported English literacy and tuition classes at PPR Hicom, partnered with Yayasan Chow Kit, and now expanded that same spirit here, in helping underprivileged children grow, learn, and feel seen.
Different locations. Same belief: community empowerment begins with supporting kids in all aspect of education!
