OVER 100 pupils at SK Ladang Pendas, Johor Baru, received essential school supplies, including new uniforms and shoes, as part of Sunway Group's Sinar Raya celebration.
Sunway City Iskandar Puteri chief executive officer Gerard Soosay said the event was part of the company's ongoing corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts to uplift underserved communities nationwide.
'Sunway's CSR programme has impacted over 17,000 beneficiaries across Malaysia this year through the distribution of bubur lambuk, packed meals, essential groceries and food baskets,' he said.
Also present were Johor Baru Education Department School Management Unit deputy director Suliman Kamsor and Sunway volunteers.
As part of its aim for digital education, Sunway also contributed 22 laptops to strengthen the school's information and communication technology (ICT) literacy programme.
'This is a collaboration with Sunway University and Pertubuhan Titian Digital Malaysia.
'We want to equip pupils with essential digital skills such as coding, graphic design and robotics.
'By supporting education, digital access and community needs, we aim to create a more inclusive and sustainable future for all,' Gerard said, adding that #SunwayforGood had positively impacted the lives of over half a million beneficiaries.
A 75-inch smart TV and a fully furnished ICT lab were also provided with support from the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation.
