    PANTAI KELANANG

    Banting, 23 September 2019 – About 40 staff of OCBC Bank (Malaysia)


    Berhad recently made their way to Pantai Kelanang in Selangor to deal with
    deposits of a different and unattractive sort.

    You can never imagine the sort of rubbish that turns up when you clean up a beach

    Their efforts saw the beach become a lot cleaner minus the 340
    kilogrammes of waste that the bankers had collected and placed in 35 bags.

    They had earlier spent almost five hours working in groups of three walking
    along the 1.5-kilometre stretch of beach to pick up bottles, straws, general
    waste and even fishing nets. They later sorted out the trash.

    The volunteers, all from


    the Bank’s Legal and
    Regulatory Compliance
    departments, were
    guided by facilitators
    from My Clean Beach, a
    programme driven by a
    private enterprise to
    clean up Malaysian
    beaches and instil
    awareness about beach
    preservation for
    environmental protection
    and tourism.

    Chief Compliance Officer
    Ms Doreen Keng, who
    worked alongside her
    colleagues on the effort,

    “I was pleased to see my colleagues working really hard relentlessly for five
    hours in an effort we will remember for a long time to come. It is not easy
    collecting waste that has been long-deposited along the beach. So, we
    would all do well to remember how much better it would be for this kind of
    waste not to end up there in the first place. Beach-goers must remember to
    leave nothing but footprints whenever they head out to the great
    outdoors,” she said.

    The OCBC Bank staff expressing their sheer joy at having rid the beach of 340kg of waste
    deposited into 35 bags.

    beach to its pristine origin. Apart from the satisfaction gained from having
    done whatever we could, the event really helped us to bond together as
    members of a team,” she said.
