Exal Malaysia reaches out to 31 families with essential food supplies

KUCHING (April 10): A total of 31 underprivileged families across the city received essential food supplies from Exal Malaysia last month.

The recipients were from Kampung Pinggan Jaya, Kampung Tanjong Bako, Kampung Paya Mebi, Kampung Sinar Budi Baru, Kampung Sejijak, Kampung Stapok, Kampung Sri Arjuna and Kampung Haji Baki.

The initiative, held from March 17 to 19 in collaboration with the Padawan Municipal Council (MPP), saw Exal Malaysia distribute approximately RM15,000 worth of essential food supplies to needy households and single mothers.

The company said the initiative reflects its broader philosophy of building communities beyond homes, where long-term value extends beyond physical infrastructure.

The programme was led by Exal Malaysia managing director Albert Ko and attended by MPP chairman Tan Kai and councillors Mohammad Fauzi Ali and Shamsuddin Unai.

Ko said the company believes that building communities goes beyond delivering homes.

“It means contributing meaningfully to the people who live in them. This initiative reflects our belief that responsible development must also create a positive and lasting impact within the communities we serve,” he said.

Exal Malaysia noted that the programme reflects a growing shift within Malaysia’s property sector, where developers are increasingly expected to contribute to social sustainability alongside physical development.

It added that community engagement and social impact are becoming key benchmarks for long-term corporate value and stakeholder trust, in line with Bursa Malaysia’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) guidelines and broader industry trends.

By working closely with MPP and local community leaders, Exal Malaysia said it ensured the initiative was both targeted and impactful, reinforcing the significance of cooperation in addressing real community needs.

“As Exal expands its footprint in Sarawak, the developer remains committed to integrating social responsibility into its developments while strengthening community resilience,” it added.
