https://businessnews.com.my/2025/04/23/ibraco-children-fighting-cancer/

The first quarter of Year 2025 has seen Ibraco Berhad (“Ibraco”) deepen its commitment to the special and vulnerable community of children with cancer, by contributing, thus far, nearly RM100k to the Sarawak Children’s Cancer Society (“SCCS”), continuing a partnership rooted in compassion and care.

The contribution includes RM80,000 in support of SCCS’ GoBald campaign this year—a powerful symbol of solidarity with young cancer patients—and sponsorships for the Society’s Chinese New Year celebration this year, in cash, gifts and essentials, bringing festive joy to children and their families.

This funding will directly support SCCS’ critical outreach programmes, including hospital transportation for rural families, care packs for newly diagnosed children, weekly home visits, bereavement support, and the Wishing Star initiative, which helps fulfil the dreams of children who no longer have treatment options.

Fighting cancer

SCCS, established in Year 2001, is a non-profit organisation devoted to supporting children in Sarawak who are battling cancer, of which the emotional, physical, and financial toll on these young patients and their families is immense.

Ibraco firmly believes in doing its part to ease this burden. Its support for SCCS is part of an ongoing commitment throughout the year.  Guided by the core values of Responsibility and Accountability, the premier developer is dedicated to fostering healthier and more compassionate communities, by also contributing to the well-being of those most vulnerable, especially children and their families navigating the challenges of cancer.

Datuk Chew Chiaw Han, Group Managing Director of Ibraco Berhad, said, ““It is our privilege to once again stand alongside SCCS in their mission to bring comfort and strength to families facing some of life’s toughest battles. Every child deserves to feel supported, loved, and never alone.”

Datuk Chew shared that Ibraco’s partnership with SCCS has been a deeply meaningful one, spanning over ten years. “This journey with SCCS has been about more than just financial support. It’s about standing in solidarity with children and families facing the unimaginable,” he said. “We’ve had the privilege of supporting through sponsorships, festive celebrations, awareness efforts, and joining hands in their fundraising activities.”

Commitment

“As a property developer, we believe our true purpose lies not just in building homes, but in nurturing hope and compassion within the communities we serve,” Chew added. “We are humbled to know that our efforts have brought some light to numerous families over the years. Walking alongside SCCS has been an honour—and we remain committed to this journey of care, courage, and kindness,” Datuk Chew concluded. 

Ibraco’s corporate social responsibility efforts align with the company’s ESG roadmap, which focuses on long-term community impact. In addition to its partnership with SCCS, Ibraco has also worked with organisations such as Hope Place Kuching and supported health-focused events and wellness campaigns. The company continues to design developments with the community in mind, including neighbourhood parks as well as jogging treks, leisure spaces, and a neighbourhood club at its townships.

Ibraco remains committed to its corporate responsibility mission by supporting initiatives that promote community health, resilience, and this enduring commitment reflects the company’s belief that businesses have a vital role in uplifting the communities they serve. Through long-standing partnerships, public wellness efforts, and direct community engagements, Ibraco continues to integrate compassion into its operations—building not only homes, but also a more caring and connected society.

Lastly, as Ibraco continues to stand alongside SCCS in their mission, the public is invited to join the organisation in supporting SCCS’ GoBald 2025.  This year’s events will be held in Miri on 15 June at Imperial Mall, and in Kuching on 22 June at Aeon Mall Kuching Central. Whether by shaving your head in solidarity or making a donation, your support goes a long way in bringing hope and strength to children fighting cancer and their families. Together, let’s make a difference—one act of kindness at a time.
