“DLMI applauds and salutes the staff of Sungai Buloh Hospital, University Malaya Medical Centre and Hospital Kuala Lumpur for their dedication and sacrifice. We are all concerned about the COVID-19 pandemic. I hope our contribution of our Dutch Lady +Protein and our other nutritious milk product varieties will help keep our frontline heroes strong as they go about their daily professional lives,” said DLMI Managing Director, Tarang Gupta.
DLMI has been serving Malaysians with nutritious milk and dairy products for 57 years with steadfast commitment to nourish the nation and support the Government’s National Health Agenda.
Tarang added that during these trying times it is of utmost importance that we stay healthy and safe. Pairing milk with meals will help ensure that one has a healthy balanced diet, as milk in general contains protein, calcium, and essential nutrients such as vitamin B2, Vitamin B12, Vitamin A and Vitamin D and more to keep your body healthy and resilient. It is suitable for medical frontline heroes who are working so hard to keep Malaysians safe.
“As a responsible corporate citizen, we are just as concerned as other Malaysians about the Covid-19 pandemic. In this small way, we hope to do our part to support our medical Frontline Heroes, who are working without sleep and even forgoing food to save lives. This helps us continue our purpose of nourishing Malaysians with quality dairy nutrition,” he concluded.
