PRefChem celebrates Chinese New Year with Pengerang communities

On 14 February 2024, PRefChem together with PETRONAS Refinery and Petrochemical Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (PRPC) and Pengerang Terminals (Two) Sdn. Bhd. (PT2SB) jointly organised a Chinese New Year (CNY) gathering with the Chinese communities in Pengerang.

About 90 attendees joined the celebration held at Jade Garden Seafood Corner, Sungai Rengit. PRefChem was represented by Mr. Ho Chee Sam, Head of Business & Services whilst Haji Izzuddin Abd Ghani, Head of Strategic Communications & Stakeholder Management of PRPC and Mr Aqeel Hussain, Chief Executive Officer of PT2SB were also in attendance. Joining them was Mr Lim Kim Hua, the Pengerang’s Chinese Community Leader.

The event kicked off with a mesmerising lion dance performance by Persatuan Seni Wei Wu Kota Tinggi, symbolising prosperity and good fortune for the year ahead. Haji Izzuddin Abd Ghani, who delivered the speech on behalf of the participating companies, expressed his appreciation to the Chinese communities in Pengerang for their continuous support to Pengerang Integrated Complex (PIC) and urged for the same commitment from the Operating Companies in PIC for other community efforts.  Mr. Lim Kim Hua then thanked the organisers for the gathering which helped to foster solidarity and togetherness between PIC and the community.

The celebration continued with the handover ceremony of mandarin oranges to the community representatives followed by the traditional Yee Sang tossing ceremony and a delectable dinner.

This festive engagement activity with the Chinese communities in Pengerang is part of PRefChem’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programme to strengthen our relationship with the surrounding communities by the act of sharing our blessings with the less fortunate.
