It’s nice to see car companies giving back something to the community. While you might say that RM200,000 isn’t that huge a sum in the grand scheme of things, it’s nothing to sneeze at, really, and every bit does count for those who need it.
That’s the sum local Peugeot boys Nasim raised recently for Hospis Malaysia following a corporate social responsibility (CSR) exercise that the company launched in July. The funds were raised from the sale of Peugeot cars and spare parts during the duration of the company’s Peugeot 200 Year Anniversary promotional campaign.
“As a responsible corporate citizen, we are proud to announce this donation to Hospis Malaysia. We hope this contribution will help the organisation continue its great work in caring for patients with terminal illnesses,” said SM Nasarudin SM Nasimuddin, CEO of Nasim and joint group executive chairman of the Naza Group of Companies.
He presented the donation to Hospis Malaysia last week following the launch of the new Nasim Puchong 2S centre. Hospis Malaysia, in case you don’t already know, is a charitable organisation that offers palliative care to patients suffering from life-limiting illnesses such as cancer and AIDS in the Klang Valley.
From a hospice with 44 patients under its care 18 years ago, Hospis Malaysia now receives a yearly referral of approximately 1,500 patients a year. It provides both home-care and day-care services to its patients.
“We are extremely grateful to Nasim for this generous donation, which will go a long way in helping us sustain our activities in providing care for the terminally ill. The services we provide are free of charge and we depend on donations from companies and private individuals to carry out our operations,” said Datuk Richard Robless, council member of Hospis Malaysia.

they should do this yearly…
just 1 time = publicity only…not healthy at all…
Thank you :-)
(though it may be a step to increase publicity b4 lauching New 207) this is a good way~ helping the nation with the money earn.. so people who is buying peugeot… they actually contribute to the nation.. the hospis..
I thinks its an honorable contribution and one that is most welcomed by those who need it. More Malaysian corporations need to do the same. Kudos to Naza!
lol, they’ll be able to cover the cost of this donation with 20 APs max.
It is NOT a donation. A donation is when you give and NOBODY knows about it. It is just BUSINESS ..
Good move for them… but i was hoping that the sum could be more.
tahniah…lepas ni jdkan tajaan tahunan…
coming from him.. i’d except at least another zero on that cheque..
What a show of rubbish and hypocrisy.
Take from the rakyat billions worth of AP and donate peanuts back for a show for a Dato title in the making … i bet
A person with true and honest intention to help others need not stand behind a HUGE mock check with big numbers on it. No need stand before journalists or reporters to tell their stories.
When I give donation (yes, very small donation compared to 200K), I never want to be recognized. Never. Donation comes from the heart.
The again, I may be wrong
whatever the intention might be, as long as it is channelled for a good cause, in this case hospis malaysia where the fund directly benefits them, it is all good mate
Nasarudin actually donates a LOT more than this in a personal capacity, privately. This is just from Nasim as part of its 200-year anniversary.
Good Man
You know what , in a such a materialistic bombastic world we live in , any charity is good charity , even if it is showered by publicity , for all we know, it helps to get the word out, cuz frankly….i myself dunno that an organization like hospis existed, secondly.., If an organization is good enough to get money and attention from big companies, it also means that they’re doing a god job and the public would know which org. to give away money to…
His Bride dowry so much than that 200k…………
