BGC Collaborates with Jerudong Consultative Council For Cemetery Associated Project

Posted by Ummi Sulaiman on

BGC as part of its Social Investment (SI) initiative collaborated with the Jerudong Consultative Council (MPK) for a cemetery associated project at the Tanah Perkuburan Islam Kinapahan, Jerudong on Friday, 4 December 2020.

Under the project, BGC installed a brand-new rainwater harvesting tank for the main purpose of providing access to clean water for the community visiting the cemetery. Due to the location of the cemetery on top of a hill, a conventional water source was not available, and members of the community had to carry heavy bottles of water up to the top. The new installation will provide ease and improve the safety of visitors.

After the handover, a cleaning campaign was also held, supported by BGC volunteers and members of the Jerudong community.
