With the continuous e orts and initiatives to provide nancial assistance and relief to the underprivileged group, the MRCA Branding Education Charity Foundation has also embarked on several worthy charity projects which were initiated by MRCA President, Ms. Shirley Tay, including “A Good Deed A Week”; “MRCA Sungai Buloh Hospital Relief Fund”; “Spare Your Coins for Charity”; “MRCA & DSAM Support White Flag Charity” and “MRCA 2021 Flood Relief Fund” campaigns.
In 2021, MRCA concluded 8 charity activities which included cash and goods donations; and other supplies to the needy groups.
Whilst many SMEs were badly hit for the past 20 over months of the prolonged lockdowns and are
still reeling from heavy nancial losses, MRCA has always strived to advocate in forwarding good deeds through simple acts of kindness, considerations and remembering those in need, reaching out to them in every available opportunity and means.
As the leading retail chain association in the nation, the Malaysia Retail Chain Association achieved a tremendous breakthrough in the year 2010.
Under the initiatives and leadership of its 2008-2010 President Dato’ Tay Sim Kim, MRCA raised RM1 million for the set-up of MRCA Foundation.
With the set-up of this Foundation, the MRCA started to work in giving back to society through visitations and donations to various charity homes during Malaysia’s main respective festive seasons – Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali and Christmas.
