MSIG Insurance (Malaysia) Bhd “(MSIG Malaysia)”, has strengthened its long-term commitment to coastal conservation through its ongoing partnership with the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), facilitating a mangrove planting initiative where 20 Kelab Pencinta Alam (KPA) school eco clubs planted 1,200 saplings at the Kuala Selangor Nature Park (KNSP).
According to the statement issued, the planting activity, supported by MSIG’s sponsorship of the saplings, is part of a wider, multi-year collaboration with MNS focused on rehabilitating Malaysia’s mangrove ecosystems. Since the partnership began in 2019, MSIG and MNS have planted approximately 10,587 mangrove saplings across Peninsular Malaysia – a number that will continue to grow with the additional 1,200 saplings planted with the school eco clubs, 1,200 saplings planted last week across Selangor, Kedah, Perak, Melaka, Johor and Kota Kinabalu, and a further 400 saplings scheduled for planting before the end of this year.
In addition to financially supporting the planting programme, many MSIG employees also took time out of their usual work routines to volunteer in the planting activities facilitated by MNS in various parts of the country.
MSIG Malaysia’s Chief Executive Officer, Ang Yien Chia, expressed her appreciation for the team’s commitment to the initiative and reaffirmed the company’s belief in fostering shared value through environmental resilience:
“Since 2019, MSIG has been working closely with the Malaysian Nature Society to restore these valuable ecosystems across the country. Together, we have planted more than 10,000 mangrove saplings in multiple states, and we remain committed to expanding these efforts each year. Our aim is not just to count the number of trees planted, but to contribute to stronger, healthier, and more resilient coastal communities in the long term.”
Ms. Ang added, “What made the event especially meaningful is the involvement of young Malaysians. By planting these saplings, the students not only learn about conservation—they are actively shaping Malaysia’s environmental future. We believe the next generation will continue to play a crucial role in safeguarding our natural heritage, and we are proud to support their efforts alongside MNS. We look forward to continuing this partnership to create shared value for communities, for nature, and for the generations to come.”
