24/01/2021

Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) continues its commitment to a greener and more sustainable environment through the rehabilitation of Negeri Sembilan’s coastal area by planting 1,000 mangrove tree in Chuah, Port Dickson from January 2021 to January 2022.

TNB General Manager (Corporate Affairs), Datuk Omar Sidek said the project with Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) is a testament to one of TNB’s main pillars of Corporate Responsibilities, which is caring for the environment.

“We are glad to partner with MNS as this project is not only in line with United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), but also helps to solve various environmental issues whilst benefiting local communities and wildlife,” he said.

The coastal area along the Malacca Strait has been long affected by erosion and land degradation. The mangrove serves as the first line of defence against the high tide and becomes the habitat for fish, cockles and crabs that can become a source of income for fishermen.
