PETALING JAYA, July 1 (Bernama) — It’s the World Pest Day awareness in June! Rentokil Initial Malaysia is driving their annual nationwide Adopt-a-School CSR programme across all its branches in the month of June, with each branch collaborating with one school in their local community to raise the awareness of pest management. This year, Rentokil Initial Malaysia has teamed up with local authorities such as the Ministry of Health (MOH) to further inculcate the awareness towards managing pest issues and adopting good hygiene practices among the younger generations. This initiative is supported by Pest Control Association of Malaysia (PCAM) in conjunction with World Pest Day which happens on 6 June annually.
We have kicked off our CSR programme at Butterworth and Penang last week before coming back to Selangor at Sekolah Kebangsaan Petaling Jaya. The programme features informative Dengue Awareness Talk, which highlights the importance of eliminating Aedesmosquito breeding grounds to prevent Dengue fever. Besides, Personal Hygiene Talk was subsequently shared to educate students about the good washroom and proper hand hygiene habits. Both talks were shared by the technical experts from Rentokil Initial.
