Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad plans to organise the Media Community Drive treasure hunt again next year as it not only benefits the media and the banking institution but also the community.

Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad Group chief executive officer Mohd Muazzam Mohamed said it was found that participants of the treasure hunt did not miss out on providing services to the poor and the needy along the way.

He said the treasure hunt was organised this year in conjunction with the bank’s 40th anniversary and it attracted the participation of nearly 160 media representatives from 22 agencies.

“During the hunt, Bank Islam contributed RM30,000 under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme to Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak- Anak Yatim Miskin Dahikmah, Gopeng, in Perak,” he told reporters at Bertam Resort and Water Park here today.

He was met after the ‘Bank Islam Media Community Drive 2023’ prize-giving ceremony which was organised with the cooperation of the Staff Club of the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama).

The two-day treasure hunt started in Kuala Lumpur and ended in Penang.

Mohd Muazzam said the treasure hunt was organised to further strengthen the bank’s relationship with the media, as well as to appreciate the contribution and support by the media to the bank.

The competition offers prizes up to 10th place, with first place, won by the Kamikaze group from Utusan, taking home RM5,000 in cash.

Second place, with a cash prize of RM4,000, was won by the group known as Kereta Burok, comprising media representatives from Utusan TV, Warta Rakyat, and Satu Berita My, while the third prize of RM3,000 was won by Kingsman, from BERNAMA.
