SUBANG JAYA, Nov 7 — Pelaburan Hartanah Berhad (PHB) has strengthened its commitment to community development and education by donating 35 units of classroom furniture to Sekolah Kebangsaan Jalan U3, Subang Perdana, benefitting more than 1,000 pupils.
The initiative was conducted through PHB’s 'The Good Builder' programme, in partnership with Epic Homes, during which over 30 PHB employees volunteered to assemble desks, chairs and shelves for the school’s classrooms.
PHB group managing director and chief executive officer Mohamad Damshal Awang Damit said the initiative reflects the company’s continued dedication to supporting education and uplifting local communities.
“This programme is close to our hearts because it goes beyond corporate giving. It nurtures volunteerism and strengthens our corporate values of being professional, harmonious and bold,” he said at the event.
He added that the effort is in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 on Quality Education, which underscores the need for a conducive learning environment that enables students to focus and learn comfortably.
Mohamad Damshal said PHB chose to collaborate with Epic Homes because of the organisation’s proven track record and well-structured volunteer framework, which aligns with PHB’s goal of delivering impactful corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
Meanwhile, EPIC Homes co-founder and chief executive officer John-Son Oei said the organisation provided training and hands-on guidance to PHB volunteers, ensuring the classroom furniture produced was of high quality and safe for use.
“We guided the volunteers in using tools, taking accurate measurements and assembling the furniture to ensure every desk, chair and shelf was strong and durable,” he said.
