Goodyear has just conducted their first St John Ambulance Malaysia (SJAM) safety workshop in order to help promote the importance of road safety and tyre care for the SJAM community at SJAM-Pantai Selangor area.
Goodyear has been helping to support SJAM for the last seven years by donating tyres to be fitted onto the ambulances. But rather than just provide tyres this year, Goodyear has instead organised a workshop to help increase the importance of road safety and tyre care – where a total of 38 Goodyear tyres were provided, consisting of Duraplus and G28 Flexsteel tyres.
“Our tires are built based on Goodyear’s core values of safety and market-backed innovation where we strive to deliver superior grip, durability, better mileage and fuel efficiency. Ushering into the Hari Raya season, our aim is to further highlight the importance of safety through this workshop – to remind our fellow Malaysians to take safety measures and check their cars and tires are in safe condition before travelling. For many years, SJAM has been a recipient of Goodyear’s philanthropic efforts because we believe that the services they provide are an essential facet to the development of the local community. These services translate to the prevention of harm and in saving lives” said Ivy Peng, Managing Director of Goodyear Malaysia.
The one hour workshop was conducted by Mr , Customer Satisfaction Director, Goodyear Malaysia, that included road safety and tyre care tips such as tire pressure, tread wear, alignment and more.
“The anticipated peak travel period during the upcoming Raya season makes Goodyear’s workshop highlighting road safety very timely and relevant. We are grateful and it’s an honor that our work here at SJAM is recognized. With brands such as Goodyear, we are definitely able to serve the community better moving forward,” said Dato’ Yeo Kim Thong, Chief Operating Officer, SJAM-KPS Foundation.
SJAM is one of the oldest non-governmental organizations in Malaysia that promotes the teaching of First Aid and related health care issues to the community. The organization carries out projects such as mass CPR training, Citizen Action and Response in Emergencies (CARE) and First Aider Training Project designed to place a first aider in every home across the country.
