STM Lottery Plants 80 Trees Once Again for Greener Environment

STM Lottery teamed up with the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) for another successful tree planting campaign aimed at supporting the government’s goal of planting 100 million trees, thereby aiding environmental conservation.

A team of staff volunteers from STM Lottery, led by Mr. Giam Say Khoon, Deputy General Manager of Communications & Sustainability Department, ventured to the Kepong Botanic Gardens of FRIM in Kuala Lumpur on 29 June 2024 to fulfill their annual commitment to this cause by planting 80 Meranti trees.

The staff volunteers began their day with an informative session led by Mr. Dasrul Iskandar bin Darus, Head of the Silviculture Branch at FRIM, who instructed them on the best practices for planting saplings effectively.

This tree planting programme not only helped to deepen the staff volunteers’ appreciation for environmental conservation, it had also allowed them to actively contribute to maintaining Malaysia’s diverse ecosystem as well as to enjoy the beautiful and exotic greenery at the botanical garden.
