In a statement yesterday "the group said WCTGives encompasses three pillars, namely #WeCareTogether, #EducationforAll, and #AGreenerTomorrow.

WCT said each of the pillars would focus on various programmes that aim to enrich the lives of the community, provide education support to the underprivileged, as well as to preserve the environment.

Under the new proposition, WCT will continue to allocate 0.2% of its total annual revenue to fund its various CSR programmes across all business divisions.

According to Chow, the total contribution made in the financial year 2021 for charitable causes stood at RM2.8mil.
