Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 7 September 2021 – UOB Malaysia has donated RM100,000 to three hospitals  in need of vital resources to help them fight the ongoing pandemic that has left the nation’s medical  infrastructure under severe pressure. The donation will provide for critical medical equipment to ease the  burden of hospitals and healthcare workers as they grapple with the spike in COVID-19 cases and deaths  related to the highly transmissible Delta variant. 

The donation, distributed through MERCY Malaysia1, will go towards Sungai Buloh Hospital and Selayang  Hospital, the two out of the three designated COVID-19 hospitals in the Klang Valley, as well as the Malacca  General Hospital, the only major government hospital in the state handling COVID-19 cases. The money  will be used to supply powered air-purifying respirators, oxygen concentrators, vital sign monitors, enteral  feeding pumps, medical syringe pumps and other essential equipment to support the increasing number of  patients admitted into the intensive care unit (ICU).  

KUALA LUMPUR, 7 September 2021 – While an enormous number of human lives have been severely affected since COVID-19 reared its head more than a year ago, the pandemic has also taken attention away from another group of creatures that are in need of urgent attention. Every day across Malaysia, hundreds of abandoned and stray dogs and cats are in need of good homes and “parents” to care for these “fur babies”. 

Realising this serious plight, Royal Canin Malaysia, a leading brand in health and nutrition for cats and dogs, has embarked on a partnership with PetFinder.my, a digital web portal dedicated to finding homes for stray, abandoned and rescued dogs and cats. Since the partnership began in June 2020, Royal Canin and PetFinder.my have found permanent, loving homes for more than 900 animals throughout the country.
