Education has the capacity to profoundly impact lives. This is the very reason for the establishment of our foundation – and continues to be the main driver behind PINTAR’s key tenets. The year 2014 concluded recently, and throughout the year, the importance of education was impressed upon, and remained to be one of the recurring themes from all sides. Debates and discussions were made on the Malaysian education’s quality, ��'�� Z�� '�� instruction, and the list goes on – but what lacks in agreement, the commonality remains – that we all care about the nation’s education, and that it has the power to change our children’s future, as well as the nation’s.

Yours sincerely,Yours sincerely, SK Cherating, Media Prima Adopted School

�� C�� Malaysia’s annual budget, with more than 20% of it dedicated every year to enhance education excellence in the country. In the

PINTAR Chairman’s

MESSAGErecently tabled budget for 2015, a total of RM56 billion will be invested by our Ministry of Education, at least 2 billion more compared to 2014’s allocation, with an emphasis towards strengthening schools which require guidance and special assistance. Despite all of these measures done by our government, the education sector, especially at the primary school level �� '�� $� �� above and beyond their call of duty to ensure that the schools they have adopted receive the best support that is � �� $�� '�� B��C��'�� in rural and under-served communities. On this note, I would like to personally congratulate one of our active members, Telekom Malaysia for their recent winning streak for a number of awards. TM walked away with four awards by the Shareholder Watchdog Group j&>(z{��"><"��,��z��C�"��+%�� "��,��Report Awards (NACRA) 2014. Most notably, is their Platinum Award win for Best Corporate Social Responsibility for NACRA 2014.

?��+J� �� +%�� B��'�� corporate organisations coming on board PINTAR to adopt more schools – especially in East Malaysia where help is needed the most.

I hope that the year has started on a good note for readers of PINTAR Voices. I think it is not too late to wish everyone a very Happy New Year. Here’s to a rousing start for the year 2015!

UEM Sunrise also recently concluded its Green Campaign 2014 with a prize-giving ceremony held at SK Nusantara, Gelang Patah for all of its PINTAR schools. The ceremony was graced by the Nusajaya State Assemblyman, Yang Berhormat, Dr. Haji Zaini Haji Abu Bakar who presented the prizes to the schools along with UEM Sunrise’s Senior General Manager, Nusajaya, Encik Mohd Nadzari Haji Bachek.

�� +%�� '�� +J� �� +�� =<&� >�� PINTAR adopted schools. The PINTAR schools comprised 11 of primary schools and four secondary schools. This year, UEM Sunrise in collaboration with Department of Environment (“DOE”) Johor, under the Education Unit, designed the Green Campaign in the form of project work for participating schools. The project required each participating school to beautify their school compound, landscape corner or any form of creative corner in a way that resembles a green and sustainable environment. The project took place over three months starting from July to September and was funded by a cash grant amounting to RM1,000 for each participating school.

“As a responsible corporate citizen, UEM Sunrise is committed to building sustainable communities in environmentally friendly living spaces. The Green Campaign aims to educate the younger generation on the importance of environmental protection and cultivate an environmentally responsible culture in the community.

Due to the tough competition for the primary school category, DOE has decided to award two champions, SK Nusantara and SK Pendas Laut, without a second placing.
