Trip.com Malaysia Supports Pertubuhan Amal Uncle Kentang’s Flood Rescue

11 March 2026

KUALA LUMPUR: The international travel service provider Trip.com Malaysia recently made a significant contribution to the local non-governmental organisation Pertubuhan Amal Uncle Kentang Malaysia (PAUKM), supporting their flood rescue operations through the donation of a rescue boat.

The new boat, complete with an engine and trailer, expands PAUKM’s fleet and enhances its capacity to respond swiftly to flood emergencies. Its smaller design offers rescue teams greater manoeuvrability, allowing them to navigate narrow flood zones and low-water conditions more effectively. This improves access to communities and areas that may otherwise be difficult to reach during times of disaster.

“At Trip.com, we believe it is our responsibility to help create a better future for the communities and people we serve. The volunteers and first responders at Pertubuhan Amal Uncle Kentang Malaysia are truly inspirational as they work tirelessly to provide aid during disasters. We are honoured to support such vital, life-saving work and to help bring assistance to those in need,” said Stephane Thong, General Manager of Trip.com Malaysia.

The official handover ceremony of the boat was officiated by Kuan Chee Heng, the Founder of Pertubuhan Amal Uncle Kentang Malaysia. Several distinguished representatives from local authorities were also present as guests of honour, including representatives from the Subang Jaya City Council (MBSJ), Puchong Police Station, and Puchong Fire and Rescue Station.

This initiative underscores Trip.com’s ongoing commitment to acting as a responsible travel service provider, with a focus on supporting the local communities where it operates. As a global travel platform, Trip.com is dedicated to fostering community resilience and making a positive, impactful difference.
