PUCHONG, 2 November 2024 – Following the success of its earlier GUARD OUR FUTURE initiative, KAO Malaysia continues its fight against dengue fever with a second community clean-up at Puchong Permai Flat Block A. Organized in collaboration with the Selangor State Government, Majlis Bandar Subang Jaya (MBSJ), and ESG partner Impactlution, this initiative emphasizes the importance of sustainable community action in combating mosquito-borne diseases.

Puchong Permai Flat Block A is listed as a dengue outbreak locality, making it a critical area for intervention. The half-day event saw a turnout of 70 participants, including local residents, MBSJ representatives, and partners such as Takeda Malaysia and Impactlution. Together, they worked to clean the area, educate the community on dengue prevention, and promote sustainability.

The event kicked off at 7:30 AM at Balairaya of MPP14 Puchong Permai, with an engaging lineup of activities:

  • Product Education: Kao Malaysia's representative, Puan Anis demonstrated how to use Bioré Mos Block Serum and Bioré UV products to protect against mosquito bites and harmful UV rays.
  • Community Clean-Up: Volunteers equipped with trash pickers, gloves, and garbage bags tackled the clean-up effort, identifying mosquito breeding grounds and clearing waste.
  • Waste Audit & Awards: A waste audit was conducted post-clean-up, with participants competing to minimize waste. The total waste collected was 770kg. Winners were recognized by Encik Kamarul Hafiz Bin Kamarudin, Ahli-Majlis Zon 14 MBSJ Council.
