Yayasan Johor Corporation (Yayasan JCorp), in collaboration with Yayasan Sultan Ibrahim Johor, continues its commitment to supporting island communities affected by the monsoon season through the Monsoon Relief: Waves of Support programme.
Building on the success of last year’s initiative, this year’s programme focuses on communities in the Johor islands.
Yayasan JCorp contributed hygiene kits, cash assistance and school supply vouchers, while Yayasan Sultan Ibrahim Johor provided essential food items for affected families.
The joint effort aims to ease the burden of residents and strengthen community preparedness ahead of the upcoming monsoon season.
This year’s initiative benefited a total of 235 recipients, including families and students across five islands, namely Pulau Sibu, Pulau Tinggi, Pulau Besar, Pulau Pemanggil and Pulau Aur. The programme was organised with the support and cooperation of the Mersing District Office.
The aid was officially presented by Jamil Hasni Abdullah, District Officer of Mersing, at the Mersing District Office on 30 October 2025. Joining him were Mohd Anizam bin Jamian, Chief Executive Officer of Yayasan Sultan Ibrahim Johor and Zaidatul Zurita Abdul Rahman, Chief Executive Officer of Yayasan JCorp.
Puan Zaidatul Zurita Abdul Rahman said that the initiative reflects the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to community well-being and resilience.
“We are truly grateful for the continued partnership with Yayasan Sultan Ibrahim Johor, which allows us to reach communities in the Johor islands that are often more affected during the monsoon period. This collaboration reflects our shared mission to uplift Johoreans in need and ensure no community is left behind,” she said.
The collaboration between Yayasan JCorp and Yayasan Sultan Ibrahim Johor has been longstanding.
In 2024, both organisations worked together under the Monsoon Relief initiative and extended support to patients at Hospital Sultanah Aminah, providing essential care items to mothers, newborns, children and the elderly.
This year, the partnership has further expanded through the Smart Farming Greenhouse Project at SMK Buloh Kasap, Segamat and SMK Seri Medan, Batu Pahat, which promotes sustainable agriculture and youth empowerment through technology-driven farming.
“Beyond immediate relief, our joint initiatives with Yayasan Sultan Ibrahim Johor aim to create lasting impact by empowering communities through education, sustainability and social development,” Puan Zaidatul added.
“As the ‘Membela’ arm of Johor Corporation (JCorp), Yayasan JCorp is committed to advancing social well-being and uplifting communities through meaningful, people-centred initiatives,” she said.
In conjunction with this event, Yayasan JCorp also treated 16 students from Sekolah Kebangsaan Pulau Sibu to a school shopping trip at Hari Hari Supermarket, Mersing, bringing joy and excitement as they prepare for the new school year.
“Although these island communities are far across the sea, they are always in our thoughts and care,” she added.
Yayasan JCorp remains steadfast in its mission to nurture inclusive growth and strengthen social unity through programmes that empower Johoreans to build a more resilient and sustainable future together.
