It is driven by our goal of giving back to the community; to our customers and especially those in need. In this regard, we will be allocating RM200,000 from this programme as contribution to the Skill Development Fund, managed by The National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM).”

“With over 400 stores across the country serving a huge customer base, and the support of a wide network of business partners, Guardian provides a far greater reach than most other retailers. And it has been our policy to use this reach to help raise funds for as many charitable causes as possible.”

“This programme, will similarly leverage on Guardian’s reach to raise funds for NASOM’s skills development programme with the aim of training autistic children to be gainfully employed. In the process, we also aim to raise awareness of the special needs of this group in our community,” she added.


Ms Low expressed confidence that the programme would receive favourable response from shoppers for several reasons.
