MSIG Malaysia Deepens Nationwide Mangrove Conservation Efforts with Malaysian Nature Society (MNS)
Company Marks Over 10,000 Saplings Planted Since 2019; Supports 1,200 New Plantings with School Eco Clubs at Kuala Selangor Nature Park
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 December 2025 – MSIG Insurance (Malaysia) Bhd “(MSIG Malaysia)”, has strengthened its long-term commitment to coastal conservation through its ongoing partnership with the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), facilitating a mangrove planting initiative where 20 Kelab Pencinta Alam (KPA) school eco clubs planted 1,200 saplings at the Kuala Selangor Nature Park (KNSP).
The planting activity, supported by MSIG’s sponsorship of the saplings, is part of a wider, multi-year collaboration with MNS focused on rehabilitating Malaysia’s mangrove ecosystems. Since the partnership began in 2019, MSIG and MNS have planted approximately 10,587 mangrove saplings across Peninsular Malaysia – a number that will continue to grow with the additional 1,200 saplings planted with the school eco clubs, 1,200 saplings planted last week across Selangor, Kedah, Perak, Melaka, Johor and Kota Kinabalu, and a further 400 saplings scheduled for planting before the end of this year.
In addition to financially supporting the planting programme, many MSIG employees also took time out of their usual work routines to volunteer in the planting activities facilitated by MNS in various parts of the country.
MSIG Malaysia’s Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Ang Yien Chia, expressed her appreciation for the team’s commitment to the initiative and reaffirmed the company’s belief in fostering shared value through environmental resilience:
“Since 2019, MSIG has been working closely with the Malaysian Nature Society to restore these valuable ecosystems across the country. Together, we have planted more than 10,000 mangrove saplings in multiple states, and we remain committed to expanding these efforts each year. Our aim is not just to count the number of trees planted, but to contribute to stronger, healthier, and more resilient coastal communities in the long term.”
Ms. Ang added, “What made the event especially meaningful is the involvement of young Malaysians. By planting these saplings, the students not only learn about conservation—they are actively shaping Malaysia’s environmental future. We believe the next generation will continue to play a crucial role in safeguarding our natural heritage, and we are proud to support their efforts alongside MNS. We look forward to continuing this partnership to create shared value for communities, for nature, and for the generations to come.”
Speaking at the event, MSIG Malaysia’s Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Toshibumi Suzuki, emphasized the vital role of nature-based protection in supporting communities:
“Our partnership with MNS reflects our belief that environmental protection and community resilience must go hand in hand. Growing up and working in Japan, I have seen how natural disasters such as typhoons and floods can severely impact people’s lives and livelihoods. Malaysia experiences its own challenges with flooding, and this is why the idea of protection — both through insurance and through nature — is so important to us at MSIG.”
“Mangrove forests are one of the best examples of how nature protects us. Their strong root systems help stabilise coastlines, reduce the impact of waves and storm surges, and protect communities living in low-lying areas. They also support biodiversity by providing habitat for fish, birds, and other wildlife, while helping to mitigate climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. In many ways, mangroves act as nature’s own form of insurance.”
A Nationwide Conservation Footprint
Since 2019, MSIG and MNS have carried out mangrove replanting activities in diverse locations nationwide, demonstrating the programme’s broad geographical reach and conservation significance. Planting sites to date include:
- Sungai Cherating, Pahang
- Kuala Bagan Tiang, Perak
- Kampung Pulau Ketam, Perlis
- Kuala Selangor Nature Park, Selangor
- Delta Kelantan, Kelantan
- Sungai Merbok, Kedah
- Tanjung Tuan, Melaka
- Taman EcoCare, Terengganu
- Tanjung Piai, Johor
- Lukut, Negeri Sembilan
- Nibong Tebal, Penang
- Darau Wetlands, Sabah (new site added in 2025)
These efforts contribute to the rehabilitation of degraded coastal habitats, improved biodiversity, and strengthened natural buffers for flood- and erosion-prone communities.
MSIG’s work with MNS extends beyond one-off volunteerism, reflecting the company’s long-term vision to create shared value by strengthening Malaysia’s environmental resilience.
This mangrove programme remains MSIG’s primary supported initiative under its partnership with MNS, with plans to explore additional activities aligned with ecological restoration and community resilience in the future.

Over the past year, we witnessed athletes’ determination, outstanding performances from artists, and the unforgettable energy of cheering audiences. Each event has touched and inspired us.
“As Hong Kong’s largest integrated sports, leisure and entertainment landmark, we are committed to bringing the community together while strengthening Hong Kong’s connection with the Greater Bay Area and the international stage,” said a spokesperson for KTSP.

Award recipients are evaluated entirely based on independent performance data, including key indicators such as downloads, monthly active users (MAU), growth rates, in-app purchase revenue, and user engagement. These metrics reflect sustained operational effectiveness and performance over time. Green SM’s recognition not only marks a breakthrough for the brand but also demonstrates consistent growth and sufficient operational stability to be recognized at a regional level.
According to the published results, Green SM achieved 114.4% year-on-year MAU growth in 2025 and ranked No. 1 in downloads among EV-focused carpooling platforms in the region. This performance reflects steady expansion across the company’s operating markets, including Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Behind these growth figures lies a systematically built operational foundation. Green SM maintains that growth is only sustainable when accompanied by the ability to deliver consistent service quality across all operating markets. Scaling its electric fleet while ensuring a uniform and reliable user experience has remained a central priority throughout the company’s development.
This operational stability benefits both sides of the platform. Passengers experience transparent, dependable services, while the Green Driver community operates within a clearly structured, long-term-oriented work environment. For Green SM, growth and quality control are pursued in parallel as two core pillars of sustainable development.
Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh – Global CEO of Green SM stated: “Recognition through an independent data evaluation system affirms that the fully electric mobility model we are pursuing is on the right track. More important than growth speed is the trust we earn from users in every market where we operate. That trust motivates us to continuously refine our fully electric mobility model, ensuring stable operations, structured technology deployment, and sustainable long-term development.”
In the context of an increasingly competitive mobile application landscape, recognition grounded in independent performance data demonstrates that Green SM’s growth is built on a structured, scalable operational platform. The ability of an electric mobility model to achieve strong regional growth while maintaining consistent service quality confirms that this is no longer an experimental alternative, but a practical direction for modern urban transportation.
Previously, Green SM was also honored at the VnExpress Tech Awards 2025 with the titles “Outstanding Ride-Hailing App” and “Vietnamese Tech Brand of the Year,” and received the “CXP Best Customer Experience Award,” which recognized its implementation capabilities and consistent operational standards across the system.
