seRM1 million for the Nation

The Branding Association of Malaysia (BAM) and Malaysia Entrepreneurs' Development Association (PUMM) have been working together on a patriotic campaign entitled "Branding Entrepreneurs for Malaysia". This project involves 100 leading Malaysian brands representing their respective industries to do something meaningful for our beloved new Malaysia. We want to use action to demonstrate our wholehearted support for this massive 'rebranding exercise' of our nation. Each company is contributing RM10,000 to Tabung Harapan Malaysia. To date, a total of RM1,000,000 has been collected. We are most honoured to have YB Ignatius Darell Leiking, Minister of International Trade and Industry receiving the mock cheque on behalf of our government. Should you have any further questions or require any clarifications, please do not hesitate to contact the Secretariat office: Telephone: 03-56117266 / 03-80768263 Email: [email protected] / [email protected]
