MEDIA STATEMENT
Kuala Lumpur, 29 December 2014
GLC Disaster Response and Relief Network activated in flood-hit areas
Government-Linked Investment Companies (“GLICs”) and Government-Linked Companies
(“GLCs”) have activated flood relief efforts in response to the extreme flood situation affecting
several states in Peninsular Malaysia. The GLC Disaster Response and Relief Network
(“GDRRN”), officially in place since 4 November 2014, was activated on 19 December 2014 to
provide aid and assistance to flood victims.
The GDRRN was established to coordinate emergency disaster relief and recovery efforts by
GLICs and GLCs (also known also as the G201) under the Putrajaya Committee on GLC High
Performance (“PCG”), which is chaired by Prime Minister Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Tun Abdul
Razak. It leverages on the G20’s expertise, assets, and human capital to complement the disaster
response of the Malaysian Government, in collaboration with civil society organisations.
The relief efforts currently being undertaken include volunteer relief work and the provision of
financial and material aid to assist flood victims in various evacuation centres in Kelantan,
Terengganu, Pahang and Perak. Thus far, aid has been delivered to 10,000 families in Kelantan
and Terengganu, with close to 100 volunteers from four companies deployed.
GLICs and GLCs that are contributing through the GDRRN are UEM Group Berhad (“UEM”),
Telekom Malaysia Berhad (“TM”), CIMB Group Berhad (“CIMB”), Malayan Banking Berhad
(“Maybank”), Malaysian Airline System Berhad (“MAS”), Malaysian Resources Corporation
Berhad (“MRCB”), Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (“MAHB”), Chemical Company of
Malaysia Berhad (“CCM”), Malaysia Building Society Berhad (“MBSB”), Sime Darby Berhad
(“Sime Darby”), Affin Holdings Berhad (“Affin”), PLUS Malaysia Berhad (“PLUS”), Lembaga
Tabung Angkatan Tentera (“LTAT”), and Khazanah Nasional Berhad (“Khazanah”).
The efforts through the GDRRN are over and above, and complementary to, the disaster relief
efforts being undertaken by GLCs who have announced their respective contributions, including
Sime Darby, Tenaga Nasional Berhad, Maybank, CIMB, and MAS subsidiary Firefly Sdn Bhd.
I. Volunteer relief efforts
GDRRN teams comprising volunteers from various GLICs and GLCs were deployed to Kelantan
from December 19 to assist in the distribution of food and hygiene kits to flood victims in Rantau
Panjang, Pasir Mas and Tanah Merah.

The G20 is a selection of large GLCs controlled by GLICs under the GLC Transformation Programme overseen by
the PCG. The group originally comprised 20 GLCs. It currently consists of 17 GLCs due to various mergers,
demergers and other corporate exercises over the years.

III. Further efforts
The overall flood situation continues to worsen with the number of displaced victims continuing
to rise. In view of the serious situation, GLICs and GLCs are working closely through various
stakeholders, including the National Security Council (“NSC”) and other agencies and
organisations to intensify disaster relief efforts. This includes delivering more supplies, making
available necessary logistics support, deploying more volunteers for the current relief effort and
post-disaster recovery and rehabilitation work, as well as increased allocation of funds.
Khazanah in its own capacity and as the Secretariat of the PCG has also doubled its allocation in
2014 for flood relief, recovery and reconstruction to RM20 million. Khazanah is also contributing
through its Khazanah Volunteer Network, as well as through collaboration with NSC, MERCY
Malaysia and Yayasan Sukarelawan Siswa. In 2013, Khazanah allocated RM10 million to flood
relief and on-going reconstruction works.
The PCG would like to call upon all GLICs and GLCs, their staff and associates, and all
Malaysians who are able to contribute to step forward and come to the aid of the flood victims in
their hour of need.
