TM PLEDGES RM4 MILLION FOR FLOOD RELIEF AND RECOVERY EFFORTS

KUALA LUMPUR, 16 December 2024 – TM announced at least RM4 million allocation, including cash assistance, to support immediate flood relief efforts for affected customers, communities, and employees nationwide. This is in support of the Sumbangan Ihsan MADANI initiative, aimed at ensuring timely support for those in need. TM installed complimentary Wi-Fi services at various flood relief centres (PPS) to ensure uninterrupted communication for flood victims and PPS’ administration. At the same time, TM’s network restoration team is working tirelessly to restore services for customers impacted by the recent monsoon flood especially in the East Coast region. This involves efforts to immediately divert key network elements for infrastructure that have been destroyed by the flood to minimise service downtime for the Government, enterprises and consumers. TM understands the challenges faced by the flood victims. Therefore, to ease their hardship, TM is committed to provide additional supports for the affected Unifi Home customers which include: •                     Free replacement of damaged Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) and network components, •                     A one (1) month subscription rebate for affected customers, and •                     An extension of credit terms to 60 days without service suspension. Through its social impact foundation, Yayasan TM (YTM) mobilised medical aid, food and other necessities with the support of its social impact partners. As Co-Secretariat and a member of the GLC/GLIC Disaster Response Network (GDRN) coalition, YTM assisted over 18,400 individuals via various initiatives including the MOF-GDRN Bantu Fund, to assist affected communities. Amar Huzaimi Md Deris, Group Chief Executive Officer of TM, emphasised the company’s dedication during this time of need. “We stand in solidarity with our customers, communities, and employees during these challenging times. Beyond restoring connectivity, our focus is on providing meaningful assistance to those affected, ensuring they can rebuild their lives with greater resilience. “We deeply appreciate the patience and understanding of our customers as we work to restore our networks, despite challenges due to power outages and damaged equipment in certain locations. Rest assured, our dedicated teams are fully committed to resolve these as swiftly as possible. To bolster our efforts, we have deployed the 56 Rejimen Semboyan Pakar Telekom Askar Wataniah, a team of TM volunteers, to provide on-ground assistance, deliver emergency services, and expedite restoration works. “TM is grateful to serve alongside the Ministry of Communications, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), National Disaster Management Agency (NADMA), Malaysia Civil Defence Force (APM) and GDRN members in supporting collective efforts to assist communities in need. We extend our heartfelt thanks to these agencies and social impact partners for their dedication and collaboration in ensuring timely and effective support. “Through these partnerships, we supported more than 28,000 individuals via various disaster relief and preparedness programmes, ensuring faster distribution of aid across the country. We remain steadfast in our efforts to restore connectivity and essential telecommunications services and aiding recovery for those affected by the floods," concluded Amar. Earlier last week, Amar visited flood-affected areas in Kelantan and Terengganu, including the Central Disaster Operations Control Centre (PKOB) in Kota Bharu. During his visit, he handed over additional care packages to be stored at the control centre. These care packages will be mobilised to affected areas and distributed to the flood victims as needed. In support of its employees, TM launched an internal crowdfunding initiative to help provide affected Warga TM with essential home amenities, ensuring they could resume their daily lives as quickly as possible. This initiative aligns with TM's "Ini Cara Kita" culture statement, embodying the spirit of caring and togetherness. Additionally, TM extended financial aid to 131 Warga TM whose homes were damaged by the floods. Early flood aid and damage claims have already been disbursed, with further assistance underway. The company urges everyone to prioritise safety during this challenging season and remains committed to restoring essential services and aiding long-term recovery.
