This tree planting activity is part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) awareness program in conjunction with 62nd ISI World Statistics Congress (ISI WSC) which was hosted in Kuala Lumpur from 18th - 23rd August 2019.

This prestigious congress positioned Malaysia at the centre of attention and will propel Malaysia's role in enhancing the development of statistical sciences.
