Allianz Malaysia Berhad, in collaboration with Yayasan Kajian dan Pembangunan Masyarakat (YKPM), reports significant progress in its Orang Asli Sustainable Livelihood Green Economy Programme. Launched in 2024, the initiative aims to empower Orang Asli communities in Pekan, Pahang, by fostering self-sustaining social enterprises through agroforestry, enhancing food security, and helping them rise above poverty.
The programme expanded in August 2025, now reaching 70 farmers from 42 households and benefiting 1,318 villagers across six villages. This phase focuses on collective farming, centralised infrastructure, efficient logistics, and leadership development.
By January 2026, the programme has enabled 42 Orang Asli families to generate substantial income, with ongoing investments in infrastructure for long-term sustainability. Allianz Malaysia CEO Sean Wang stated, “At Allianz Malaysia, we believe true empowerment happens when communities are given the tools, confidence and opportunities to lead their own progress.”
YKPM Managing Director Kon Onn Sein highlighted the impact of Allianz Malaysia’s financial support, which has allowed YKPM to enhance its support for the Orang Asli community, fostering self-sufficiency and economic growth. The funding also aids in building a sustainable programme that contributes to poverty alleviation and social transformation.
The initiative underscores Allianz Malaysia’s commitment to corporate social responsibility, aiming to create lasting positive impacts on the Orang Asli communities by equipping them with the necessary resources and opportunities for sustainable development.
