This is some CSR news that would benefit children in need. In conjunction with this year’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration, Shell will donate 1 sen (RM0.01) for every 1 litre fuel pumped at any Shell fuel station nationwide on 1, 2 and 3 of July (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). The funds collected will be channeled to help improve and transform the lives of disadvantaged children across the country. This is the second year Shell Malaysia is doing this and this year is also Shell's 125th anniversary in Malaysia. So it's a little more special.
When it started last year in 2015, Shell was able to provide funding for five (5) organisations focused on improving children’s welfare. Thanks to the kindness and generosity of Malaysian motorists, these organisations were able to provide additional educational programmes, renovate facilities, and upgrade office equipment. This year, Shell hopes to do the same and try transform more lives who are in need.
This year the fund intends to distribute to six (6) selected charitable organisations: Persatuan Dyslexia Malaysia, Pusat Harian Kanak- Kanak Spastik Bandar Ipoh, Persatuan Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Terencat Akal Johor Bahru, Yayasan Kebajikan Anak-Anak Yatim Kelantan (Rumah Putera Dan Puteri Harapan), Seri Mengasih Centre Sabah and Lembaga Kebajikan Anak-Anak Yatim Sarawak. Note that the first three mentioned are for special needs children. Very important.
All you folks out there have to do in order to help is pump some fuel at any Shell station nationwide on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd July 2016 so that there would be more donated to those in need.
This year’s charity drive gives BonusLink members an option to convert their points to donations. For every 100 points, BonusLink members can contribute an amount of 1 ringgit (RM1.00) to further help in raising funds for the organisations.

PRESS RELEASE
Shell pumps up efforts to fuel the futures of children in need
Shell to hold charity drive for the second year on 1, 2, 3 July,
kicking 125 th anniversary celebrations into high gear
KUALA LUMPUR, 24 JUNE 2016 – The Raya exodus is quickly approaching and millions of
journeys home are being planned. For Malaysians, the “balik kampung” journey is an important
one: it means time with families, for celebration, and to appreciate life’s blessings. This year,
that journey could mean additional blessings for children in need. In conjunction with this
year’s Hari Raya Aidilfitri celebration, Shell will donate 1 sen (RM0.01) for every 1 litre fuel
pumped at any Shell fuel station nationwide on 1, 2 and 3 of July (Friday, Saturday,
Sunday). The funds collected will be channeled to help improve and transform the lives of
disadvantaged children across the country.
This is the second year Shell Malaysia is doing this. When it started last year in 2015, Shell
was able to provide funding for five (5) organisations focused on improving children’s welfare.
Thanks to the kindness and generosity of Malaysian motorists, these organisations were able
to provide additional educational programmes, renovate facilities, and upgrade office
equipment.
“This year, Shell wishes to continue the journey of empowering children to build a better future
by giving them a chance to discover their talents and seize opportunities to reach their full
potential. Based on the number of lives we’ve impacted last year, we are continuing our efforts
and look to Malaysians to fuel up as they make their journeys home. Together with our
partners and customers, we hope to make it bigger and better this year,” said Datuk Azman
Ismail, Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn. Bhd. and Shell Timur Sdn. Bhd.
2016 is also a milestone year for Shell as it celebrates its 125 th anniversary in Malaysia. This
charity drive will kick the anniversary celebrations into high gear. Sharing the inspiration behind
this, Datuk Azman explained, “Shell has been in Malaysia for 125 years, impacting lives and
growing with the nation. We’ve journeyed with Malaysia and Malaysians. We believe in
inspiring continuous progress and providing opportunities for a better tomorrow. What better
way to celebrate this landmark year than giving back to our community!”
This year, with the support of customers and partners, Shell will raise funds to be distributed to
six (6) selected charitable organisations: Persatuan Dyslexia Malaysia, Pusat Harian Kanak-
Kanak Spastik Bandar Ipoh, Persatuan Penjagaan Kanak-Kanak Terencat Akal Johor Bahru,
Yayasan Kebajikan Anak-Anak Yatim Kelantan (Rumah Putera Dan Puteri Harapan), Seri
Mengasih Centre Sabah and Lembaga Kebajikan Anak-Anak Yatim Sarawak.
“Each contribution can make a difference and together we are able to amplify that. The simple
act of filling up your tank could translate to blessings to underprivileged children in need and
we hope this also inspires you to share this charity drive with your family and friends,” Datuk
Azman also said.
Furthermore, with the goal of raising donations beyond the simple act of fueling up, this year’s
charity drive gives BonusLink members an option to convert their points to donations. For
every 100 points, BonusLink members can contribute an amount of 1 ringgit (RM1.00) to
further help in raising funds for the organisations.
