OCI TerraSus Prihatin: Community support initiatives demonstrating our commitment to Sarawak flood relief

As soon as the news of the floods in Bintulu broke, OCI TerraSus’ Chairman, Woo Hyun Lee, and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Dr. Anas Alam Faizli, worked together with the team in Bintulu to provide temporary shelters for affected employees, manage shelter support, and coordinate volunteer efforts with more than 107 employees volunteering from 30 January 2025 to 2 February 2025.

These initiatives also saw OCI TerraSus donate essential supplies to the Bintulu Resident’s Office and extend support to the Pusat Sukan BDA Kidurong Shelter, which accommodated 284 people then. The efforts also included cleaning the houses of affected employees and helping them access government assistance.

Overall, RM400,000.00 was spent on relief efforts, including employee support and donations to communities.

President and Chief Executive Officer of OCI TerraSus, Dato' Dr. Anas Alam Faizli, said, "The activities that we have done over these past two weeks are a testimony to our commitment to our team members, the community, and the people. These CSR activities are focused on immediate and continuous relief for the victims of the Bintulu floods and our long-term community support and development."

Last Friday, OCI TerraSus donated RM100,000.00 to the Girl Guides Association of Malaysia, Sarawak Branch, which will benefit more than 2,285 members and students in Bintulu who are directly affected by the disaster. This donation, which will be used to support the purchase of stationery and school uniforms, was handed over to the Patron of the Girl Guides Association of Malaysia, Sarawak Branch, Toh Puan Fauziah Mohd Sanusi, and Chairwoman Dato’ Dayang Morliah Datuk Awang Daud by Senior Director of Sustainability, OCI TerraSus, Dr. Kim Soo Yeon.

The handover ceremony was held at Astana Negeri Sarawak on 14 February 2025. This donation signifies OCI TerraSus' continuous support for the Girl Guides Association of Malaysia, Sarawak Branch’s mission and dedication to supporting women and the younger generation, following the Save Our Planet, Save Our Home-Student Sustainability Symposium, held on 7 December 2024.

Senior Director of Sustainability at OCI TerraSus, Dr. Kim Soo Yeon, said, "We hope that this donation will ease the burden of the families affected by the devastating floods and support Girl Guides members with the essentials to continue their education when the school term starts next week. This is part of our CSR efforts to continue supporting these young women, and we hope that OCI TerraSus and the Girl Guides Association of Malaysia, Sarawak Branch, can continue to build meaningful collaborations that positively impact society."

Senior Vice President of the Communication Department at OCI Holdings, Mr. Chris Jung-whan Cha, said, “We will continue to collaborate with OCI TerraSus for the well-being of the communities in Sarawak through various ESG initiatives fostering regional development. In the wake of the floods and the substantial damage they caused, we extend our deepest condolences and sympathies. We are fully dedicated to assisting the local residents and ensuring their swift recovery, enabling them to return to their daily lives.”

Moving forward, OCI TerraSus will continue its support for Bintulu and Sarawak in times of crisis and in fostering long-term community development.

“These CSR initiatives reaffirm our dedication to supporting our employees, communities, and the next generation, ensuring that those affected by the floods receive the necessary support to rebuild their lives.

We will continue with our dedication and strengthen our collaboration with local partners and stakeholders to create a more sustainable future for Sarawak,” Dato’ Dr. Anas Alam Faizli added.
