BINTULU (Nov 6): Bintulu Port Holdings Berhad (BPHB) has donated 1,000 personal hygiene kits to the Bintulu Correctional Centre to support the basic needs and well-being of inmates undergoing rehabilitation.
The contribution was made under the company’s Bintulu Port Prihatin corporate social responsibility programme during a handover ceremony on Wednesday.
Each kit comprises essential toiletries, including toothpaste, bath soap and shampoo.
“The initiative aims to help meet their basic personal hygiene needs and provide greater comfort throughout their rehabilitation process,” the company said in a statement.
The ceremony was attended by BPHB Group Stakeholder Relations general manager Maslihah Tioh and Bintulu Correctional Centre director Zakaria Mat Jusoh.
Beyond the donation, BPHB also extended its support to local social enterprises by purchasing locally woven products, including songket and shawls.
The initiative is aimed at helping sustain traditional weaving skills, empowering local artisans and creating income-generating opportunities for those involved.
BPHB expressed hope that the initiatives would contribute to community well-being while generating sustainable social and economic benefits.
