YTL Construction takes pride in contributing to the communities around where we operate. This is because we believe in giving back to the places in which we live, work and raise our families. Santun Komuniti YTL is a recent campaign which we launched with the aim of establishing and creating strong relationships with the local community. Relationships which are based on mutual recognition and respect, trust and ultimately, the goal of improving the quality of life.
Santun Komuniti YTL focuses on our initiatives which are related to:
- Education
- Community Engagement
- Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR)

Laptop Donation for PKRC Olive, Hospital Permai JB
SIPPYTL-JV donated four laptop units to Pusat Kuarantin dan Rawatan Berisiko Rendah COVID-19 (PKRC) Olive in Hospital Permai JB last month.
This donation was made to help ease communication between COVID-19 positive patients and their relatives, as well as to aid administrative work amongst the hospital’s staff members.
The handover was made from our Liaison Manager, Mohd Harizal Zainal Abidin, and Liaison Officer, Aimi Nadirah Mohamad to the PKRC Olive representatives, Dr. Mohd Faiz bin Maarof (Director, PKRC Olive) and En. Sufian bin Suleiman (Deputy Director, PKRC Olive / Chief Assistant Land Administrator JB).
COVID-19 Relief Aid for Urban Poor Families in Klang Valley
Last month, YTL Construction came together with Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple in Brickfields and Railway Assets Corporation (RAC) to provide food baskets to 100 urban poor families living in the Brickfields, Old Klang Road, Pantai Dalam and Bangsar areas.
The food baskets, consisting of essential food items such as rice, eggs, canned food and noodles, were handed over to the President of the Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple, Mr. Sirisena Perera, on 21st August by our very own Dato’ Sri Azmi Abdul Aziz CEO, Rail Division of YTL Construction and En. Adam bin Abu Hanipah (General Manager of RAC).
School Safety Engagement
On 29th July and 19th August, SIPPYTL organised two virtual talk sessions for almost 100 primary school students from SJKT Ladang Kulai Oil Palm to discuss the importance of health and safety near the Gemas-JB Electrified Double Track Project (GJBEDTP) construction site.
In both sessions, our HSE Officer, Mathankumar Shanmugam, reminded the students of the importance of maintaining and prioritising their health and safety at all times. He also explained the meanings of common road signages displayed near our construction site in Johor and told the students how important it is to adhere to the road signage instructions.
Towards the end of the talk, we ran a quick pop quiz session to test the students’ understanding and were delighted to see how excited and engaged they were throughout.
