WHAT began more than a decade ago as a modest charitable initiative has grown into one of Bermaz Motor's most significant annual traditions: its annual golf tournament raises support for medical relief and vulnerable communities.

A golf course became a gathering point for philanthropy as Bermaz Motor brought corporate partners, government representatives and Mazda customers together for its 12th annual Mazda Charity Golf Tournament.

This reinforces the company's long-running effort to channel private-sector support to Malaysians in need.

Held on Oct 9-10 at Glenmarie Golf & Country Club, the event drew about 200 participants and raised support for the Mazda Medicare Fund (MMF), which provides medical assistance and humanitarian aid to underprivileged communities.
