Penang: The Penang Port Commission (SPPP) reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that the benefits of port development reach all segments of society, particularly those in need, in line with the Malaysia MADANI aspirations.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, SPPP's chairman, Datuk Yeoh Soon Hin, highlighted the commission's role over the past 70 years, which has extended beyond advancing the port sector to supporting community well-being through various welfare initiatives. During a tea reception held in conjunction with SPPP's 70th anniversary celebration and the launch of the Penang Port 2026 National Month Celebration, Yeoh emphasized the importance of sharing development benefits with all societal segments, especially those in need.

The event was attended by Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Ramli Ngah Talib and his wife, Toh Puan Raja Noora Ashikin Raja Abdullah. Yeoh noted that the occasion also served as an opportunity to support orphans and those in need through contributions by SPPP. He encouraged continued support for such initiatives through contributions, volunteer services, and community programs organized by SPPP with strategic partners.

Additionally, Yeoh presented the Jalur Gemilang to representatives of 10 port industry companies to mark the National Month celebration. A total of 185 recipients comprising orphans, persons with disabilities (PwD), and single mothers from welfare homes across the state received contributions presented by the Penang governor and his wife.
