Since 2016, TNB has spent almost RM2.6 million to repair and modify 48 vans, lorries and four-wheel drives (4X4) to be donated to mosques and suraus, as well as non-governmental organizations in need.

TNB President / Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said, TNB has always been generous to share prosperity with the community as a sign of gratitude for the blessings obtained.

“Through social responsibility efforts that include education, socio-economic development and environmental sustainability, TNB continues to build a bridge of friendship with the community through donations today.

Also present were TNB Chief Corporate Officer, Datuk Wira Roslan Ab Rahman and Managing Director of TNB Power Generation Sdn Bhd cum President of TNB Islamic Workers Welfare Association, Dato 'Nor Azman Mufti.
