Community Assistance
In addition to economic empowerment, we
are committed to improving the general living
standards of the local communities.Together with
the project managers on-site, our Community
Development personnel invest time and effort
in building relationships with local residents.
Through regular interactions with them, we are
able to identify the needs of the local communities
and partner with them to address those needs
where practicably possible. We also hold regular
meetings with representatives of each village
to discuss progress and implementation of
our community assistance plans as well as to
address any issues, concerns or complaints that
may have arisen. Our community assistance
efforts include making donations in kind to local
schools (including providing building materials
to build/repair school premises) as well as
supporting any social or religious events of the
communities. In the later part of FY2014, we
contributed livestock to the local villagers near
our mine sites to commemorate The Feast
of Islam. In Singapore, we also participated
in the 45th Anniversary Charity Dinner of the
National Kidney Foundation. We hope that the
support extended to the largest dialysis provider
in Singapore will help to reduce the financial
burden of needy patients.
