THE first MRT Employee Volunteer Program (EVP) was successfully held on 7 June 2014 with around 80 staff members of Malaysia Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp), MMC Gamuda KVMRT (PDP) Sdn Bhd (MMC Gamuda) and TSR Bina Sdn Bhd participating in the cleaning up of Kampung Masjid in Sungai Buloh, Selangor.

MMC Gamuda is the MRT Project Delivery Partner and TSR Bina is the Sungai Buloh Multi Storey Park and Ride Work Package Contractor.

The event kicked off at 7.30am with a message from MRT Corp Director of Strategic Communications and Public Relations Encik Amir Mahmood Razak, followed by a welcome speech from Kampung Masjid head Tuan Haji Zulkapli Haji Abdul Karim.

Kampung Masjid is located next to the Sungai Buloh Multi Storey Park and Ride construction site.

The participants together with Kampung Masjid villagers were divided into seven groups for the clean-up effort. The tasks included cleaning of drains, cutting down dead trees and collecting garbage. Bulk waste was removed using lorries provided by the MRT Project work package contractor.

The clean-up was completed by noon and Tuan Haji Zulkapli thanked the participants for their hard work.

The EVP was set up to allow the staff of MRT Corp, its partners and contractors, to give back something to communities along the alignment of the MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line.
