2017 marks another milestone for our efforts in CSR campaigns. We have introduced our very own ‘We CARE Charity Fund’. All funds raised will be used for worthy causes such as donating to charitable foundations and non-profit organisations. This is a living testament of our commitment to CARE for your sustainable future. To support this vision, all our missions are driven by the ‘4 Pillars of CARE’, which are:

• C – Community’s wellbeing • A – Aid during emergency or to the people in need • R – Recycling for a better tomorrow • E – Educating the public

These are the past activities that we have done to communicate our CARE for a sustainable future:

2022 - We Care For The Displaced

During the mid-December 2021, Malaysia was hit with one of the worst flood in the history of the country. Many Malaysian was left stranded, cars afloat, houses destroyed & with most of their clothes, electronics and other home equipment spoiled which results in many Malaysian needing aid & funds to rebuild their homes while others are in need of essential supplies to get through this hard time.

Therefore, with effort in lending a hand to those affected by the flood, ALL IT arranged & donated over 400 packs containing multi gang extension socket, mobile phone charger & cables total worth over RM33,000 to the Malaysian Red Crescent that was then distributed to the unfortunate victims.

With this small donation, we hope that it may assist the Malaysian Red Crescent in continuing their quest to help humanity get through this hard time as they always did with other natural disasters that has occurred in the past such as the Sulawesi Earthquake in 2018, Penang Flood in 2018 & many more.

2021- #ALLITFightsCovid19

The pandemic that is known as Covid-19 has caused millions of Malaysians to suffer through health and financially. Fortunately, our Malaysian frontliners such as the good people at Malaysian Red Crescent works effortlessly each and every day to help those that are affected. However, saving humanity comes at a cost. With that said, the Charity Bidding was created with one aim in mind which is to gather funds to donate to the Malaysian Red Crescent in order to help them continue this fight with Covid-19. The Charity Bidding was running from 1-30th July 2021 with our official e-wallet partner GrabPay and consist of 2 sessions with a huge variety of products that are available for bidding thanks to some of our sponsors such as Acer, HP, TP-Link, Asus, Logitech, Futoromic AV Sdn Bhd, Zuru, Fitbit & Targus including items such as notebooks, routers, headsets, smartwatches and many more.

In total, we've successfully garnered a sum of RM16,481.90 within the whole month of July and were all channelled to the Malaysian Red Crescent – a non-profit organization that is well known for lending a hand to whoever those are in need. With the donations received, the Malaysian Red Crescent were able to successfully execute their Oxygen Concentrator Project by assisting many victims of Covid-19 that are on home quarantine while suffering from non-immediate life-threatening respiratory problems and those post covid patients who still requires oxygen assistance after they’re discharged from the hospital.

In addition, the donation received will also be used for the allowance of the volunteers from the Malaysian Red Crescent that were stationed at PPV center's where they are assigned to assist and transport patients with post vaccine reactions. Lastly, fundings are also allocated for the Disaster Response Team as they play a very important role by helping the most vulnerable community. Lunch was provided for the local community of around 2000 people that are affected by the pandemic while Family kits & Home Care kits are also distributed among them. The Malaysian Red Crescent fully supports local disasters such as the recent flash flood at Central Seberang Perai District.As promised by the Malaysian Red Crescent, any additional funds from the donation will be allocated for future projects to ensure that they could provide and assist as many affected Malaysians as possible.

2020 – #ALLITFightsCoronaVirus

Apart from donating the IT essentials to the Sungai Buloh Hospital through IPC Shopping Mall's #KitaJagaKita CSR campaign, we have also launched the #ALLITfightsCoronavirus contest to help researchers in finding the cure for Covid19. This contest encourages people to download the Folding@Home application and contribute to the vaccine's researchers by sharing their PC or laptop's processing power at the comfort of their home. We’ve rewarded the top contributor EVERY month with RM200 ALL IT cash voucher from October till December 2020 to encourage people to participate in this CSR campaign. With all the combined resources garnered, our team "ALL IT WeCare" have managed to achieve world's Top 1% team in terms of contribution and we hope to make a difference for people all around the world!

2019 - #ALLITFIGHTSCLIMATECHANGE

With all the flash floods, heat waves, bush fires and animal extinction happening around the world in 2019, we know that climate change is a phenomenon that is no longer a faraway event which doesn’t concern us as Malaysians. According to the Science Insider (18 February 2015), sea levels have been rising at a greater rate year after year, which would dramatically reshape the continents where many countries may no longer exist. Such effect is irreversible and if we remain complacent, ‘by 2030 about a quarter of Malaysia’s population will be displaced because of climate change’, said Dr. Renard Siew, the Malaysian head of Climate Reality Project (South China Morning Post, 20 September 2018).

Starting small with the hopes of doing our part to help in saving the environment, ALL IT partnered with the R.E.A.L Education Group to plant 49 trees that were sponsored by the Free Tree Society. The campaign was launched on September 2019 with an objective to educate the public and younger generations on the seriousness of the climate change issue and how each of us can contribute to the environment through experiential learning and activity.

To educate the public and younger generations, ALL IT has conducted the Kid’s Drawing Contest with attractive prizes total worth up to RM3,000. Through this activity, 154 kids and their parents were reached out to and the message of the importance in fighting the climate change was communicated to the public.

ALL IT also has collaborated with major brands such as MPH bookstore, MOG optical store, Poh Kong jewellery store, Zalora, Celebrity Fitness, Shugatori dessert café, Juan Valdex café, Kiss The Tiramisu café, Mihimihi dessert shop, Fifty Gram and Flowerchimp online flower delivery stores and offered a bundle of special promotions with total savings up to RM250 at RM1 only. Basically, with just RM1, the public is able to join the fight against the climate change. Like-minded retailers joined the fight by operating a Charity Weekend Bazaar to sell green items. During the campaign period, we successfully garnered up a total of RM8500 funds and all were channelled to the Free Tree Society – a non-profit organisation with a good track record in preserving our environment.

Let us not stop here and continue saving our mother earth as every little help. We can’t make a difference alone, but with all of us together, we can! To know more about how you can continue the fight against climate change, go to https://freetreesociety.org/index.php/volunteer/#volunteernursery

2018 - Sulawesi Earthquake Relief Fund

On the 28th of September 2018, the whole world was saddened by the news that Sulawesi, Indonesia was hit by an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.5 and followed by a Tsunami just 4 days after the tragic event. More than 65,000 homes have been badly damaged due to the earthquake.

We have launched the Sulawesi Earhtquake Relief Fund across all our outlets and all funds raised are channeled to Malaysian Red Crescent Societ. Although the funds are not in significant amount, but we hope that we could help them to go through the difficult time and make up for their losses. We thanked each and every kind hearted customers that did their part and to make this world a better place.

2018 - 15 Deserving Students Thankful on Laptop Sponsorship

In conjunction with ALL IT Hypermarket’s 15th Anniversary celebration, ALL IT sponsored 15 laptops to assist 15 deserving young Malaysians to excel in their tertiary studies. This CSR Campaign is supported by ALL IT We Care Charity Fund and co-sponsored by Acer Malaysia. Each student received an Acer Laptop worth RM1749.

Due to overwhelmed response, ALL IT topped up additional RM200 worth of voucher each to another 20 recipients. Thus, this campaign has benefited total 35 students from 18 local colleges and universities throughout Malaysia and total sponsorship is more than RM30,000. It’s truly difficult to shortlist 15 students among thousands of application forms. We understand that younger generations are the hope of our nation and many underprivileged students do not lack of talent, but lacking of tools to help them in achieving their full potential. Kudos to Acer who welcomed our proposal to collaborate in giving away the notebooks in conjunction with our 15th Anniversary in 2018!

2018 – We Care To Recycle E-Waste

According to the reports from e-Cycle LLC (2013) and Department of Environment Malaysia (2015), there are at least 6 toxic materials found in our mobile phones and powerbanks, such as arsenic, bromine, cadmium, lead, mercury and PVC. Some are cancer causing materials; if we do not dispose the items responsibly, it may end up in the landfill and these toxic materials will rapidly degrade the soil’s health. If the materials are burnt, it will be released to the atmosphere and this will affect the whole ecosystems because the excessive exposure to the materials can cause negative impacts on our liver, skin, respiratory and nervous systems.

And according to an article by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) Ex Research Institute Ltd in 2014, the estimated amount of e-waste generation in Malaysia will increase tremendously – especially for the mobile phones and powerbanks.

Therefore, ALL IT recognizes the dire need to recycle mobile phones and powerbanks through e-Waste collectors that are endorsed by the Department of Environment Malaysia. In March 2018, we conducted an online Quiz to raise awareness on this by giving out 100 Elianware 3 in 1 Food Keeper without any purchase requirement. We also encouraged the public to drop off their mobile phones and powerbanks at any of our outlets by giving out Lucky Draw prizes. Much effort was done to promote the campaign through Facebook boost posts. We believe that the success of any campaign starts off with us, hence, we conducted an internal contest among outlets to push the message across to the public. A total amount of RM4,138 was invested into the campaign. Though the campaign is over, we hope that the public will continue to recycling e-Waste responsibly. Together, we can make a difference for a better environment.

2017 – Penang Flood Relief

In the wee hours of Sunday on 5th November, 2017, Penang experienced one of the worst flood disaster in history. The water level rose to about 10 to 12 feet, reaching the roof of the landed house. Seven people died due to the storm and more than 3,500 Penangites were evacuated. The situation was very critical and it caused Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng to call for help from the Royal Malaysian Armed Force.

In response to the need of the people who were forced to leave their homes, ALL IT raised a total amount of RM3,818.75 over a weekend and channelled it to them through the Malaysian Red Crescent Society (MRCS). We would like to thank all our customers who were quick to respond to this fund-raising activity and for their generous contributions.

2017 - Recycle With A Purpose 

We have rolled out ALL IT Recycle Bag at all our retail outlets as the 1st initiative to raise fund for ‘We CARE Charity Fund’. The laptop-sized fitted bag is retailing at only RM3.90 each and there are 3 colours in the leading series. We plan to make it a long term initiative and there will be more series to be launched soon. Public responded well especially it goes in line with government’s green movement in charging additional 20 cents for each plastic bag in Selangor now. Now everyone can ‘Recycle with a Purpose’ by purchasing the recycle bag; not just to reduce usage of plastic bag but also contributing to ‘We CARE Charity Fund’.

2016 - The Joy of Giving

Few weeks prior to Christmas in 2016, we have launched a “The Joy of Giving” fundraising campaign at our retail outlets. Customers are encouraged to participate by donating RM1 to make a wish; by writing down their wish on a card then hang it on our dedicated Christmas tree. All funds raised were donated to Pertubuhan Kebajikan Anak-anak Yatim Sayang KL & Selangor, an orphanage located in Kajang Perdana. Aligned with 1Malaysia’s vision, this orphanage home was established in 2010 to help the less fortunate children, regardless of their race.

We visited the home with full loads of daily necessities, stationaries, printer & ink supplies. The children welcomed us with great smiles and of course excited to receive new books, colouring materials and feasting on Colonel’s recipe chicken. Although it was just a simple act of giving, again we were enlightened by the quote “Gain Joy for yourself by Giving More to others”.

2015 - Sunshine September for Autism Awareness

Autism is a complex neural-developmental disorder which results in communication, sensory, social and learning disabilities. The actual cause(s) of autism is not yet known and there has not been a cure found for it. Statistics report that 60% of children with typical autism will grow up dependent on adults in all aspects of life. Every year, about 9000 children are born with autism in Malaysia. As of 2014, 1 in 68 children are identified with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) every year. Sunshine September is an event dedicated to creating awareness about childhood autism, and raising funds for the non-profit, non-governmental National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM). Started in 2010, by Suria KLCC Mall, Alamanda Shopping Centre and Mesra Mall, the month-long awareness drive has raised over RM1.4mil for NASOM. In 2015, ALL IT participated in this awareness campaign launched by Suria KLCC Group together with other tenants in the form of fund donations.

2015 - E-Waste Recycling Programme

Did you know there were more than 41m tonnes of 'e-waste' generated in 2014? Ranging from washing machines to mobile phones, if the estimated amount of e-waste generated every year would be put into containers on a train it would go once around the world! With the aim to create awareness on e-waste’s hazardous effect on the environment and to promote waste reduction, ALL IT has launched a month-long Recycle e-waste Green Campaign at various outlets. We have appointed an e-waste collector which is licensed by Department of Environment and obtained ISO 2008 certification.

We are overwhelmed by public response; by the end of the campaign we collected a huge quantity of e-waste – 71 units of CPUs, 69 units of printers, 31 units of monitors, 47 units of notebooks/tablets, 35kg of mix cables and most of all 250kg of mix items (stereo, networking, keyboard/mouse)! Although the amount raised is not a big figure, but we are glad that we managed to create the public awareness in educating them. Currently, public can still bring in their old or used computer parts and donate into our recycle bins at Low Yat, Digital Mall and IPC outlets.

In Sept 2015, ALL IT has donated all the funds raised to Malaysian Nature Society (MNS) for its conservation work. Celebrating their 75th Anniversary this year, they are the oldest environment related NGO is Malaysia. Vision - For Malaysia’s natural heritage and rich biological diversity to be effectively protected, managed and conserved for the benefit and appreciation of all Malaysians. We hope everyone will play their part in preserving our environment for a better green future.

Every year the organizer will prepare the children’s wish list and donor writes in to grant the wish of a particular child. Once confirmed, both child and donor will attend the Gift Handover Ceremony where donor personally gets to meet and pass the gift to the child. Thus far, ROFL has granted approximately 5500 wishes of the children in Malaysia and India, Nepal.

In 2013, ALL IT participated in the Gold Ribbon Campaign and we were delighted to meet the children personally. Children waited patiently for their turn in receiving the gifts they wished for; amongst those we gave out IT products ie External Hard Drive, MP3, flash drive as well as daily items ie school bags, shoes and sports equipment. The event ended up with a scrumptious lunch for all the children.
