Gas Malaysia Berhad Remains

Committed to Assist the B40 Underprivileged Upsr and Spm Students

 

On 22 October 2019, Gas Malaysia Berhad (Gas Malaysia), a member of MMC Group, was invited by Yayasan Pelajaran MARA (YPM) to officiate the Majlis Perasmian Penutupan Program Pintar Harapan Sesi 2019 dan Program Jelajah Pendidikan Luar Bandar at Maktab Rendah Sains MARA (MRSM) Balik Pulau, Penang.


Earlier this year, Gas Malaysia partnered with YPM to provide tuition classes for selected schools to assist the low-income B40 students who are qualified under the asnaf category in line with Gas Malaysia’s annual zakat commitment.


During the event, Ahmad Hashimi Abdul Manap, Chief Executive Officer of Gas Malaysia handed over a mock cheque to Abu Zaki Ahmad Affandi, Principal of MRSM Balik Pulau. In total, the financial assistance from Gas Malaysia has benefited more than 1,400 students who will be sitting for Ujian Pencapaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) and Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations from 14 schools.


Commenting on this initiative, Ahmad Hashimi said “Education is highly important, especially for the nation’s younger generation.  Economic disparities should not be a cause in creating a gap within our education system. Further, this effort also depicts Gas Malaysia’s keen commitment on the nation’s education development, in line with one of our corporate social responsibility pillars; namely, Education and Community, Human Capital and Environment”.
