Approximately 1,660 applications from vernacular schools requesting help have come in as of April 15, leading Carlsberg Malaysia to increase their donations of handheld thermometers to 3,600 so every eligible school can receive two units or more. One million students are expected to benefit from the Safer Schools campaign, which received applications from every state in Peninsular Malaysia as well as Sabah and Sarawak.
Carlsberg Malaysia managing director Stefano Clini hopes the campaign can provide much-needed assistance to students and teaching staff who will be going back to school in high-risk areas when the MCO lifts.
