Also present at the handover ceremony was Meor Shahril Anuar Ahmad Rathuan, State General Manager, TM Melaka.
The pendarfluor lamps were gathered from an upgrading exercise of the lighting system at Menara TM Melaka building which saw the replacement of pendarfluor lamps to LED lights towards a more efficient energy consumption. From the upgrading exercise, TM Melaka managed to gather a total of 3,000 pendarfluor lamps to be contributed to the beneficiary groups.

Meor Shahril Anuar who mooted the idea said, "TM Melaka embarked on the upgrading exercise in 2017. With the initiative, TM Melaka has recorded substantial savings in our electrical expenditure while increasing the awareness on green practices amongst the staff. Besides this upgrading exercise, at TM Melaka, we continue to support one of the three-pronged approach of the Company’s Corporate Responsibility (CR) initiatives namely the environment with various other green initiatives. This include recycling of used papers, encouraging the employees to bring their own food containers when buying food at the cafeteria as well as dissemination of periodical information on green practices to Warga Keluarga TM Melaka.”
“At TM, we seek to minimise our use of materials as well as the generation of waste in order to lessen the pressure on the world’s natural resources. We employ the 3R principles of reduce, reuse and recycle throughout the Group, instilling the practice in our employees as well as those of our contractors. The distribution of the used pendafluor lamps to the communities today is an example of our initiatives towards this end. As a result of our ongoing 3R efforts, in 2017, we reduced more than 11% in solid and scheduled waste generation in TM’s selected buildings,” Meor elaborated.
In addition to the Durian Tunggal area, TM Melaka will also contribute the pendarfluor lamps to those in needs in the areas of Ayer Keroh and Paya Rumput.
Besides residences, the lamps will also be contributed to mosques, schools, hostels and multipurpose halls.
