When a massive gas pipeline explosion rocked Putra Heights earlier this month, it left a trail of devastation, injuring 145 people and displacing hundreds of families. The blast, which lit up the morning sky, forced many to flee their homes, leaving the community shaken and in need of support.
In the wake of this disaster, QSR Brands, the company behind KFC and Pizza Hut, stepped in to offer much-needed relief. The fast-food giants didn’t just provide a typical food donation – they made a lasting impact on the community.
More Than Just a Food Drop
QSR Brands rolled up to two local relief centres with an impressive 500 KFC meals and 300 Pizza Hut meals to feed those affected by the explosion. But they didn’t just drop off the food and leave. Instead, KFC and Pizza Hut teams sat down with the families, listening to their stories of survival from that terrifying morning when the Petronas pipeline exploded.
These were not quick, impersonal exchanges; they were genuine, heartfelt conversations with people who had been through an unimaginable ordeal. The QSR team took the time to meet with everyone—from local families to key figures from the Welfare Department and Selangor state government—demonstrating a commitment that went far beyond typical corporate charity.
Buckets of Chicken, Buckets of Hope
The timing of their visit couldn’t have been more significant. Just days after His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim toured the disaster zone, assessing the damage, QSR Brands arrived with actual help—a warm meal for those who had lost everything. In the face of such devastation, sometimes it’s the simplest gestures that matter most: a hot meal, a friendly face, and someone willing to listen.
QSR Brands didn’t just deliver food in boxes—they delivered a reminder that communities come together in times of crisis. And sometimes, that help comes in the form of buckets of chicken and piping hot pizzas.
A Legacy of Giving Back
This act of kindness isn’t a one-off for QSR Brands. They have a long-standing track record of supporting Malaysians in times of crisis. During the devastating floods in Johor, they were there. When the country faced strict COVID-19 lockdowns, they ensured frontliners were well-fed with hot meals. And even during smaller local emergencies, QSR Brands has consistently shown up, ready to pitch in.
Their generosity isn’t just limited to disaster relief, either. Every festive season, they make it a point to ensure that joy and good food are shared with everyone, regardless of their circumstances.
For QSR Brands, it’s more than just about serving meals—it’s about showing up when it matters most and reminding people that they’re not alone.
