Contributes to Government’s Efforts to Contain COVID-19 Outbreak KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 (Bernama) -- As the government of Malaysia escalates measures to control the COVID-19 outbreak and medical centers come under tremendous pressure, WRP Asia Pacific Sdn Bhd (WRP) today contributed 102,000 medical-grade examination gloves to University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC), as part of the company’s efforts to play a supportive role during these unprecedented times. Despite the business challenges that WRP continues to face and address, the company indicated that with the anticipated growing demand for gloves and other medical supplies, it will proactively donate more gloves to the designated medical centres assigned to handle COVID-19 screening and treatment in the weeks ahead. Special Counsel for WRP, Mathew Thomas Philip, who is the Founder and Managing Partner of Thomas Philip said, “Firstly, I would like to salute all the front liners, particularly the doctors, nurses, administrators, police and workers, who put themselves in the path of danger to protect the rest of us in the war against COVID-19.” “Although WRP is still in the process of turning itself around, we did not want to stand behind when our nation is facing such a crisis and wanted to do our part. As WRP’s operations ramp up, we will expand our contributions and hope that many more Malaysian companies will come forward to do their bit,” he added. WRP, which only restarted operations less than a month ago, is currently running at about a quarter of its capacity and will ramp up operations in phases to reach full capacity by the end of the year. WRP Advisor on Regulatory Compliance and Security, Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Musa bin Tan Sri Hj Hassan said, “Having been with the police forces for decades, I am acutely familiar with the risks and demands of working on the front lines. I hope today’s contribution will help those working at UMMC.” “To further support our nation’s frontliners, I hope all will practice social distancing and follow the government’s directives on movement control to help us to contain this fast escalating situation. If we all do our part and if we follow these clear directives, Insya’Allah, we should be able to overcome this situation soon,” he concluded. As a world-leading manufacturer and exporter of premium quality glove products, WRP has a strong track record of exporting its wide range of high-quality products to countries such as the United States of America, Canada, and Japan, which have stringent quality controls in place.
