KUALA LUMPUR – Petron Malaysia is once again partnering with Radio Television Malaysia (RTM) for the second consecutive year for the 2025 ‘Jelajah Aspirasi Malaysia’ — a nationwide tour kicking off in the northern region of Peninsular Malaysia. The month-long journey, organized in celebration of Merdeka Month and Malaysia Day, presents a series of specially curated programs and activities aimed at fostering national unity through direct interaction with the Malaysian community.

The tour, which runs from 16 August to 13 September 2025, brings together Petron service station dealers, employees and partners from both the government and private sectors. Throughout this period, engaging programs will take place at various locations across all states, beginning in Perlis, where Gua Kelam has been chosen as the flag-off point for the thrilling ‘Historace’ — a heritage-themed race designed to promote local history and tourism.

Building on the successes of the ‘Jelajah Ramadan RTM bersama Petron’ in 2024 and 2025 as well as ‘Jelajah Aspirasi Malaysia’ in 2024, Petron strengthens its commitment to being a responsible corporate citizen. The Ramadan series focuses on faith-based CSR initiatives, while ‘Jelajah Aspirasi Malaysia’ highlights sustainability-centered programs across social, socio-economic, and environmental pillars. Beneficiaries for the programs are carefully selected to represent Malaysians from all walks of life, including those with special needs. This enables Petron to contribute toward building a progressive nation, as each program is designed to drive development by investing in local communities and championing sustainable practices.

Shaliza Mohd Sidek, Head of Retail Business at Petron Malaysia, shared “Petron aspires to embrace the spirit of unity and togetherness with our fellow Malaysians during the months of August and September, which mark two significant national celebrations: Merdeka Day and Malaysia Day. We hope program participants will benefit from the activities, which are funded through both cash and in-kind contributions from our network of service station dealers.”
