TANJUNG BRUAS, MELAKA, 20 August 2025 – In commemoration with Malaysia’s 68th Independence Day, Tanjung Bruas Port Sdn Bhd (Tanjung Bruas Port) organised a Beach Cleaning and Merdeka Celebration Programme. The event, held along the port area and the coastal beach of Kampung Balik Bukit in Melaka, successfully gathered more than 120 participants, including Government Agencies, students and lecturers from Politeknik Melaka, Tanjung Bruas Port staff and local community members.
The event was officiated by YB Puan Tuminah Binti Kadi, ADUN Pantai Kundur, and was also attended by Tuan Akmal Bin Abdul Manap, Chief Executive Officer of Kumpulan Melaka Berhad; Encik Nik Muhammad Khaidir Bin Sukri, representative of the Malacca Port Authority; Encik Md Kamil Bin Md Rafi, Head of Finance, Johor Port Berhad; and Encik Khairul Anuar Bin Othman, Head of Company, Tanjung Bruas Port Sdn. Bhd.
The programme was not only aimed at cleaning up approximately two kilometres of coastline but also to foster patriotism in conjunction with the 68th Merdeka Day celebration. It also served as a platform to strengthen cooperation between the Government Agencies, Port Management and the local community.
Khairul Anuar, Head of Company at Tanjung Bruas Port said, “These communityfocused programmes are meaningful to the Tanjung Bruas Port as they provide direct benefits to local residents. It is also part of our ongoing efforts to support the local community, enhance well-being, and strengthen the relationships between the port and nearby residents.”
YB Puan Tuminah praised Tanjung Bruas Port’s dedication in organising such valuable community programmes and described it as a valuable contribution to the community. “This effort safeguards our coastal environment while also fosters stronger bond between the port and the local community. It raises environmental awareness, nurtures unity and inspires pride in maintaining a clean and pleasant environment,” said YB Puan Tuminah.
Tanjung Bruas Port hopes this initiative will be a stepping stone for more environmental preservation efforts, promoting patriotism and strengthening unity. Tanjung Bruas Port has implemented four (4) CSR programmes to date, with a total allocation of nearly RM40,000.00 most of which have directly benefited the Kampung Balik Bukit community.
