In line with our commitment to building a more caring,connected, and environmentally conscious community, NCM Co and Owner Auction™ are proud to introduce our latest CSR and community outreach initiative — the Share-an-Umbrella Program.

As Malaysia enters another rainy season, sudden downpours often catch people off guard. Whether you’re dropping by for business, visiting the neighbourhood, or simply passing through, getting drenched by unexpected rain is an inconvenience we’ve all experienced. This sparked a simple question for us:

What if we could help someone stay dry — with zero hassle?

A Helping Hand, One Umbrella at a Time

The Share-an-Umbrella program allows anyone to borrow a shared umbrella from our NCM Co Auction hall. 
The process is designed to be straightforward and accessible:

  1. Place a RM20 refundable deposit.
  2. Borrow the umbrella and use it as needed.
  3. Return it in good condition with the tag intact.
  4. Receive a full refund — no questions asked.

It’s a convenient, thoughtful, and practical solution for unexpected weather.

More Than an Umbrella – A Culture of Sharing

While an umbrella may seem like a small item, the values behind this initiative are far bigger.
The program is driven by three core goals:

1. Supporting the Community

We want to ensure that everyone — customers, neighbours, walkers-by, and even first-time visitors — gets a little extra help when rain catches them off guard.

2. Encouraging a Sharing Mindset

Instead of buying disposable raincoat or unnecessary umbrellas, people can share resources responsibly. This encourages meaningful habits of borrowing, returning, and caring for shared items.

3. Reducing Waste for a Greener Future

Less impulse buying of umbrellas means fewer items ending up in landfills. This initiative aligns with our efforts to promote sustainability through small, everyday practices.

CSR Meets Community Outreach

The Share-an-Umbrella program is both a CSR initiative and a community outreach project.
Why both?
Because it not only benefits the public but also aims to strengthen connection, goodwill, and environmental mindfulness — essential values we believe companies should model.

A Rainy Day Companion, Starting Today

Whether you’re heading to a meeting, catching a ride, or just walking across the street, this program ensures nobody has to brave the rain unprepared. And for those who fall in love with the umbrella (we won’t blame you!) — consider it a sign that good design and usefulness go hand in hand. Just remember to return it when you’re done… or at least come back and say hello!

Together, Let’s Weather the Rain with Kindness

At NCM Co & Owner Auction™, we believe CSR doesn’t always have to be grand or expensive — sometimes, the simplest ideas create the most meaningful impact.

This rainy season, let’s stay dry, stay thoughtful, and share a little kindness — one umbrella at a time.
