MalaysiaInvoking corporate social responsibility, the Malaysian government has called on companies to contribute to the Amal Jariah programme, with matching grants provided for each contribution up to a budget of RM100m.

The Amal Jariah programme was launched last year with the aim of repairing the homes of the poorest in the country. So far, it has repaired nearly 5,000 houses, with an aim ultimately to reach 30,000.

The government has said that it aims to encourage greater private sector participation with a widening of the scope of community projects eligible for tax deduction to include poverty alleviation and environmental protection projects.
