PETALING JAYA – EON Bhd has formed a collaboration with non-profit organisation SOLS Foundation to bring renewable energy to Orang Asli communities in Rompin, Pahang with the use of solar panels.
EON chief executive officer Akkbar Danial said the company is driving positive change through such initiatives by creating new opportunities and improving the quality of life within deserving communities.
He added that the installation of solar panels would help ensure constant electricity supply for the community in Kampung Binjai, which in turn would foster better living conditions and improve education efforts, while stimulating the local economy.
The signing ceremony – held at EON’s Glenmarie HQ today – saw EON CEO Akkbar Danial hand over 33 solar panels to SOLS Foundation, to be transported and installed at Kampung Binjai, Rompin.
The project is part of EON’s Wheels of Hope 2.0 initiative, aimed at empowering and enabling activities that advance sustainability goals. “We look forward to exploring new ways to support our local communities, including our collaboration with SOLS Foundation. Today’s handover of solar panels marks another step in our efforts to create a lasting sustainable impact. Together, we are making a difference — one solar panel at a time,” Akkbar said.
SOLS Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Malaysia, dedicated to serving, educating, and empowering the bottom 40% of the population. The foundation provides free education, personal development, employment support, and energy access, focusing on rural Orang Asli and Orang Asal indigenous communities.
