Qhazanah Sabah Reaches Out To Needy Communities in Kopungit

Qhazanah Sabah Berhad led by its Chief Communications Officer Muhammad Khairulnizam Hasnan paid a site visit to the affected area recently said the company will provide grocery vouchers to some 50 affected households through its Corporate and Social Responsibility (CSR) “We Care, We Share” programme.
