CUCKOO EQUIPS MAKESHIFT COVID-19 QUARANTINE CENTRE AT THE KOTA KINABALU SPORTS COMPLEX WITH WATER PURIFIERS
Kota Kinabalu, 28 April 2020 –Extending its support to the Sabah State Government in the fight against COVID-19, Healthy Home Creator, CUCKOO International (MAL) Sdn Bhd (CUCKOO) has equipped the makeshift quarantine centre located in the Kota Kinabalu Sports Complex with its Water Purifiers. The effort is an extension of the support given to the quarantine centre in MAEPS Serdang, making the total value of Water Purifiers and Air Purifiers sponsored worth over RM200,000 todate.
“CUCKOO is honoured to have been given the opportunity by the Sabah Youth and Sports Ministry to equip the Kota Kinabalu Sports Complex with our Water Purifiers. This the second of such effort where a makeshift quarantine centre is provided with CUCKOO’s clean and quality drinking water. Going in line with our Beyond Standards philosophy, we hope to continue providing our support and services wherever possible to help Malaysia combat the COVID-19 pandemic,” said CUCKOO founder and CEO, Mr Hoe Kian Choon.
Located within the Kota Kinabalu Sports Complex in Likas, the makeshift COVID-19 quarantine centre is set to house over 170 COVID-19 patients who are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms. Such facility follows the conversion of other sports complex facilities under Sabah Sports Board such as in Tambunan and Ranau for the same purpose. The conversion of these facilities involves various departments and agencies including JKR, Sabah Sports Board, Kota Kinabalu City Hall, Health Department, the hospital among many others.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, CUCKOO has been extending its support to the Government and Malaysians to help cope and combat the pandemic through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) campaign – CUCKOO Cares. Some other initiatives also include sharing tips and information to Malaysians on how to care for themselves and their loved ones during the pandemic, and extending moral support to those affected through the ‘SAMASAMA Sehati’ music video produced with the help of its ambassador and Malaysia’s Queen of Pop, Dato’ Sri Siti Nurhaliza.
