#SHOWBIZ: Syed Saddiq secures RM100k for Muar students' SPM prep at edu roadshow
KUALA LUMPUR: Muar Member of Parliament Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman recently teamed up with prominent personalities, including singers Nabila Razali and Bella Astillah, for the "Mula Awal Skor A+ SPM" educational roadshow.
The roadshow, aimed to boost students' performance in the SPM examinations, was held at the Ideal Convention Centre (IDCC) in Shah Alam and generated considerable excitement among 4,000 SPM candidates.
The celebrities shared their personal experiences, offered valuable advice, and motivated the students preparing for the upcoming examinations.
Syed Saddiq also received an educational sponsorship of RM100,000 from the event's organiser, PTTI Tuition Centre.
This significant contribution is earmarked to assist underprivileged SPM students in Muar, Johor, providing them with access to tuition classes and improved learning facilities.
Syed Saddiq emphasised that this initiative represents a crucial investment in the future of Malaysian children from low-income families.
"I must express my deepest gratitude to the PTTI team for their huge contribution," he said.
"Education is indeed a priority for our children, and not everyone has the opportunity or ability to access quality tuition classes."
An additional sponsorship of RM20,000 was channelled directly to the former Youth and Sports Minister. This sum will be used to purchase laptops and tablets, which will be distributed to students ahead of the Hari Raya Aidiladha celebration.
The PTTI SPM A+ Roadshow featured motivational talks by artistes such as Bella Astillah, MK of K-Clique, Iman Troye, Zaki Yamani, Nabila Razali, and Asyraf Khalid.
