According to Datin Paduka Norazlina, “We believe that the success of a company is not only measured in terms of profit but also in its contributions and social responsibility to the community. This zakat contribution is part of the Company’s long-term commitment to developing society in a sustainable and progressive manner, as well as strengthening social well-being in Selangor.”

WHB is committed to giving back to the people of Selangor and assisting LZS in realizing and expanding socio-economic development plans for the underprivileged (asnaf) community, such as education and social initiatives, particularly through various activities carried out under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) program, ‘Worldwide Prihatin.’ One such initiative includes a strategic collaboration between WHB and the Yayasan Raja Muda Selangor (YRMS) to provide educational aid for students under YRMS from underprivileged backgrounds.

Additionally, WHB, one of the annual co-sponsors of the Selangor International Book Fair (SIBF), has strengthened its strategic partnership with the Selangor Public Library Corporation (PPAS) and also one of the Founding Donors of the Raja Tun Uda Library Foundation through an initial contribution of RM100,000.00. This contribution has been utilized by the Foundation to upgrade the Raja Tun Uda Library, particularly by enhancing facilities for visitors with disabilities (OKU).
