Neighbours helping neighbours
When Jayden heard about a gas pipe that had exploded in Putra Heights in April 2025, he immediately contacted his network to help people who’d been displaced by the disaster.As CEO of HostPlatform, Jayden works with thousands of hosts across Malaysia and Southeast Asia to help them manage their listings. So, when he discovered Airbnb.org was providing two weeks of free, emergency housing to people affected by the explosion, he and his colleagues, Ken and Eunice, encouraged hosts in Putra Heights to make their homes available to those in need.
“We are proud to be able to help and give back to the community because this is our responsibility as Malaysians”
Their commitment extended beyond outreach – they also attended community meetings at the shelter where many survivors were staying, assisting them in signing up through Airbnb.org
