The overarching vision to be achieved in this program and its benefits to the people are as follows:

b. Beautification along main roads, pocket parks, tree banks, and forest parks are established through this program. 30 ornamental trees.

c. Greenery brings happiness, and countries worldwide have begun measuring the happiness index as a gauge of improving quality of life. Malaysia has been ranked 55th on the World Happiness Index (WHI) 2023 Report with a score of 6.012 (happiness index ranges from 0 for unhappy to 10 for happy), ahead of Indonesia and China ranked at 84 and 64 respectively. In 2022, Malaysia ranked 70 out of 149 countries. The highest is Finland with 7.8 and the lowest is Afghanistan with 1.86 points. Source: WHI report.

d. Protecting and restoring natural ecosystems.

e. Enhancing environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

f. Increasing awareness that trees are a natural resource and asset to communities. One large tree can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for up to four people. Trees also store carbon dioxide in their fibers, helping to clean the air and reduce the negative effects of CO2 on our environment. Greenery brings happiness, food security, and increases self-sufficiency level.

Based on the calculation by the Malaysia Green Technology Corporation (MGTC), these 1 million trees planted, when matured, after 5 years, are capable of absorbing 40,000 tons of CO2e per year.

Therefore, the combination of benefits from this program, which includes protecting and restoring natural ecosystems, bringing greenery to communities, environmental sustainability, social, and economic benefits, signifies a virtue or charity extended to humans, plants, and animals.

This program can also create a lasting environmental conservation impact in our country, and this effort indirectly contributes to environmental sustainability, compliance with ESG requirements, and SDG 11.
