Berjaya Cares Foundation (BCF) has stepped in with RM900,000 to lift families hit by the gas pipeline explosion here.
At a handover ceremony by the LRT station, 300 households each pocketed RM3,000, a cash lifeline to rebuild after the fiery chaos.
Chairman Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Vincent Tan led the charge.
“We’re corporate citizens first,” he said.
“This aid shows our heart’s in recovery.”
From Putra Heights, Berjaya Cares Foundation proves it’s more than talk—it’s action for those reeling.
How Berjaya Cares Foundation steps up
Tan handed over the cash himself.
“We salute the victims’ grit,” he said.
“And the frontline crews deserve thanks too.”
He pushed wider.
“More firms should join in,” Tan urged.
“Together, we rebuild strength and hope.”
Also, Transport Minister Anthony Loke praised the effort.
“Corporate help shines here,” he said at the ceremony.
“It backs up government moves.”
Loke detailed more aid.
“Matrix gave RM3,000 to 100 families,” he noted.
“Carsome loaned 50 cars for a month.”
Next, he reassured victims.
“Homes lost will be rebuilt,” Loke said.
“The state and Petronas will sort it.”
The blast left scars—87 homes gone, 148 fixable.
What fuels Berjaya Cares Foundation’s push
The gas pipeline explosion torched 235 premises in an eight-hour inferno.
Berjaya Cares Foundation, BCorp’s charity arm, didn’t hesitate—it’s their wheelhouse.
They’ve got form. School upgrades, flood relief, student aid—BCF’s been at it for years.
This fits their “Berjaya Cares Foundation disaster relief surge” playbook.
Also, Loke sees a trend.
“Malaysians unite in crisis,” he said.
“Private and public hands clasp tight.”
Finally, the rebuild’s on. Loke promised details soon.
“No one’s left homeless,” he vowed.
“We’ve got this.”
Berjaya Cares Foundation’s RM900,000 drop is a lifeline for Putra Heights blast victims.
With Tan’s call and Loke’s pledge, help’s rolling in.
The resolution’s firm—houses rise again, backed by cash and grit.
