In April 2019, DNeX provided assistance towards survivors of earthquakes in Lombok. Called DNeX Lombok Aid 2019 , the assistance comprises food supplies and basic necessities worth RM50,000 to bring humanitarian relief to affected communities. The aid was presented by DNeX’s Executive Deputy Chairman Datuk Samsul Husin to the Governor of Nusa Tenggara Barat in Lombok. In 2018, the company raised funds to provide aid to survivors of the 2018 earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi, Indonesia. Dubbed Palu Relief Golf, the event was a collaboration between DNeX and PeJAM, a social alliance of golf enthusiasts from Glenmarie who also pursue community work. We also extend our corporate patronage to arts, culture, and environmental stewardship. In 2017, we hosted Muzik4Humanity, a humanitarian concert aimed at raising funds for programmes organised by Medical Relief Society Malaysia (“MERCY”).
