BAE Systems has been a proud partner to Malaysia for more than 50 years and is the largest international supplier to the Malaysian Armed Forces. We employ more than 300 people across the country.

In late December 2021, Malaysia started to experience its worst flooding in decades. The rising waters caused significant damage to towns and villages, driving people from their homes. Months later, the severe weather continues to impact communities. To help support the flood relief efforts and those impacted by the floods, we made a £10,000 donation to Malaysian charity ‘Red Crescent’.

When the worst of the flooding hit the country, we were inspired to see the generosity of our employees who acted quickly to provide support for their colleagues who had been affected. In addition, the Company made a financial contribution to support the Red Crescent in its valuable flood relief work.
