NAIM and Staff Bring Joy to Umar by Building a Home Just in Time for Raya Celebration

Kota Samarahan, Sarawak – 22 March 2025 – In the spirit of Ramadan, NAIM Group of Companies came together to support a long-serving colleague, Mr. Umar, by building a home for his family. To ensure the house was ready in time for Hari Raya, NAIM employees from various departments, along with senior management, participated in a gotong-royong effort to paint, landscape, and furnish the home.

This meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative reflects the values of generosity, kindness, and unity, which are especially significant during the holy month. For Umar, this initiative was more than just receiving a house—it was about experiencing the true spirit of community and generosity.

“I am truly grateful and overjoyed. As the sole breadwinner, I have struggled to provide a comfortable space for my wife and children, and now, thanks to NAIM’s kindness, we finally have a place we can proudly call home. Seeing my colleagues dedicate their time and effort to help us is something I will never forget. This is what it truly means to be part of the NAIM family.”
This initiative marks NAIM’s third CSR effort in building homes, following similar projects for John Anak Away in Miri (2019) and Puan Dayang Inot Binti Ahmad Wan in Bintangor (2020). This effort reflects NAIM’s unwavering commitment to supporting its employees and communities reinforcing the belief that giving abc is not just a responsibility but a core value that strengthens the bonds within NAIM and extends goodwill to those in need.

Reflecting on NAIM’s journey, Datuk Hasmi bin Hasnan, Group Managing Director of NAIM, emphasized the company’s people-first approach: “We recognize that our greatest successes were made possible by our dedicated employees. Umar’s home is a testament to our values, a reflection of how we care for our own, and a symbol of the strong relationships we continue to build.”
As NAIM looks ahead, the company remains steadfast in its mission to build not just developments, but strong, compassionate communities. Its legacy is not only in the structures it creates but in the lives it touches—a commitment that will continue shaping the future for decades to come.

A Legacy of Giving Back
The ‘Crafting Joy for Umar’ initiative is the latest chapter in NAIM’s ongoing journey of corporate responsibility and care. It follows in the footsteps of previous impactful CSR projects, including:

1. Fulfilling a Lifelong Promise: John Anak Away’s Home in Miri
   NAIM stepped in to support John Anak Away, a dedicated shipbuilder and family man who spent over a decade constructing a home for his loved ones despite financial hardships and health struggles. Through NAIM’s ‘Better Homes Project,’ the company provided building materials and mobilized volunteers, enabling John’s dream home to be completed in time for Christmas 2019.
2. Restoring Comfort and Stability: Puan Dayang Inot Binti Ahmad Wan’s Home in Bintangor
   In collaboration with Lembaga Amanah Kebajikan Melayu Bintangor and the local Masjid Committee, NAIM facilitated essential utilities for Puan Dayang Inot’s new home, ensuring access to electricity and water. Additionally, NAIM organized logistics for furnishing and transporting essentials, provided catering for the housewarming ceremony, and arranged facilities to enhance the comfort of guests, demonstrating its commitment to community upliftment.
   Through these initiatives, NAIM reaffirms its steadfast dedication to corporate social responsibility, ensuring that its success translates into meaningful contributions that uplift lives and strengthen communities.

Continuing the Legacy
As NAIM enters its fourth decade, the company pledges to expand its CSR efforts, with future initiatives already in the pipeline. From providing homes for those in need to supporting education, healthcare, and environmental sustainability, NAIM remains committed to building not just developments, but a legacy of care and compassion.

“Our journey does not end here. As we move forward, we will continue to ensure that the growth of NAIM is shared with the communities we serve. This is only the beginning,” Datuk Hasmi concluded.

For NAIM, the message is clear: charity starts from home, and home is where NAIM’s heart will always be.
