On 17 February 2019, Berjaya Corporation Berhad ("BCorp") launched "Program Kitar Semula" at Kampung Kinjang in Chenderiang, Perak in support of the Desa Harapan ("Village of Hope") Programme by the Ministry of Rural Development.
The programme was officiated by Perak State Finance Officer, Dato' Haji Abu Bakar Bin Haji Said on behalf of the guest of honour, YAB Dato' Seri Ahmad Faizal bin Dato’ Azumu, Menteri Besar of Perak. The launch marked the commencement of the one-year environmental educational and recycling programme to address the waste management issues currently faced by the villagers.
At the launch, more than 200 villagers attended a talk on environmental issues, waste separation and recycling. The programme also included an exhibition on various environmental issues and impacts as well as a range of handicraft items made from recyclable materials and demonstration on composting kitchen waste and eco-enzyme making from fruit peels.
The Village of Hope Programme was launched by the Minister of Rural Development on 18 December 2018 to boost development in rural areas through strategic collaborations between the government and the private sector. Kampung Kinjang was chosen as the pioneer project location.
