Statement
A Visit to Kanlungan ni Maria
On 14th August 2015, GHL Systems
Philippines, Inc. visited Kanlungan ni
Maria (Shelter of Maria), a home for the
elderly. These are elders who were either
abandoned at the hospital by their family
because they could not pay the medical
bills or support them anymore. Some were
simply left to be cared by the shelter
because there was just no one who would
take responsibility.
This activity was part of the bi-annual CSR
activity that our Philippines subsidiary has
been religiously carrying out for the last
three years. Selected GHL employees
participated in the event; headed by
GHL Philippines Country Head, Mr. Rey
Chumacera. The elders were treated to a
haircut, manicure and pedicure, karaoke,
gift giving and a bingo game, courtesy of
the GHL Philippines staffs.
GHL Philippines donated adult diapers,
face mask, sanitary gloves, and multi-
vitamins to the shelter.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
Commencement of TPA partnership with a major local Bank.
In April 2015, the Group signed a TPA agreement with amajor local
Bank to provide small merchants with card payment acceptance
in Malaysia. The small merchant segment is relatively underserved
by the banking industry and this presents GHL with an opportunity
to grow our merchant base. Resultant from this TPA agreement,
GHL successfully contracted with approximately 2,500 merchants
in the second half of 2015.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)
Fun & Clarity Walk
on 17th May 2015 at Taman Lembah Kiara,
TTDI, a total 100 GHL employees participated in the event. GHL
collected cash amounting to RM1,605 which was then donated
to Persatuan Kebajikan WargaTua Wilayah Persekutuan, a
registered welfare organisation, that has been in existence since
1998. The organisation helps abused, abandoned, neglected or
at-risk children and adults.
Foot Massage
on 18th and 19th November 2015, we engaged
blind masseurs from Shujin Reflexology for both our Sunway and
Sri Damansara branches employees. We donated RM8,800 to
Shujin Reflexology, an organisation that employs and trains blind
masseurs to help them earn a living. The objective of the initiative
was to assist staff de-stress and at the same time support the
disabled.
