The Government-Linked Companies (“GLC”) and Government-Linked Investment Companies (“GLIC”) Disaster Response Network (“GDRN”), together with various partners, are coordinating to streamline GLC and GLIC’s support to assist the Ministry of Health (“MoH”) responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The GDRN was created in 2013 through the Putrajaya Committee for GLC High Performance (“PCG”) with Khazanah Nasional Berhad as its Secretariat. The network was successfully deployed between 2013 and 2016 in various relief and reconstruction works, especially concerning the major floods that occurred in Kelantan, Pahang, and Johor, amongst others. Since 2014, the GDRN Secretariat is led by Telekom Malaysia Berhad, as the Successor Entity to the PCG.
