The company is also encouraging the public to<br \/>\ndonate to the charity in its name and has agreed to match those donations on a<br \/>\nringgit-to-ringgit basis, up to a cap of RM30,000. Once the RM30,000 public<br \/>\ndonation target is reached, MSIG will contribute an additional RM30,000 to FAF,<br \/>\nbringing the total donation to RM110,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Default\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"Default\">Commenting on<br \/>\nthe &#8216;Pledge A Difference&#8217; initiative, MSIG Chief Executive Officer Mr. Chua<br \/>\nSeck Guan said, <i>&#8220;It has been a tough year for many families due to the<br \/>\nongoing pandemic and the floods that have devastated many areas. Many people<br \/>\nhave lost their main sources of income or primary caregivers from Covid-19, and<br \/>\nsuffered losses and damages to their properties from the floods. Through the<br \/>\namazing work of FAF, we really want to help ease some of their burdens. We, as<br \/>\nthe insurer who &#8216;sees the heart in everything&#8217;, are sure that MSIG customers<br \/>\nand the public will share this sentiment and contribute generously to FAF,<br \/>\ntaking advantage of our pledge to match this contribution on a ringgit-to-ringgit<br \/>\nbasis and therefore doubling the impact of their donations.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<p class=\"Default\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"Default\"><i>&#8220;We<br \/>\nare delighted to be working with FAF who does such worthy work.
