Championing education for the less fortunate
We have been a strong supporter of Yayasan “Promoting Intelligence, Nurturing Talents, Advocating Responsibility” (PINTAR) programme since 2007. PINTAR helps underprivileged children in primary schools improve their academic performance, reaches out through school reward incentives, motivation and teambuilding activities. We engage these schools yearly and since then, we have invested more than RM2 million into the programme.

The schools which we have adopted include:
  SK Bagan Jermal, Penang
  SK La Salle 1, Brickfields
  SK La Salle 2, Brickfields
  SK Tebrau Bakar Batu, Johor Bahru, Johor
  SJK(C) Yoke Hwa, Pahang
  SK Indera Shahbandar, Pahang
  SK Serandu, Pahang
  SJK(T) Ladang Mayfield, Penang
  SK Iskandar Perdana, Perak
 
The focus areas for our school adoption programme was to seek improvements in three subjects:
  Mathematics
  English
  Science
 
PINTAR has helped record massive improvements in the results of Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) for these schools since 2007. We have developed several programmes to assist our students for the first two areas through intensive classes, motivational trips, exposure of the students to the various employment avenues available, organised seminars and workshops on academic-related topics, and lessons on attitudes and behaviour.

We are pleased to see the encouraging improvements shown by students of these schools when 18 students received recognition including Tokoh Cemerlang MRCB and Tokoh Ko-Kurikulum 2011. From 519 students that sat for their UPSR, 169 students achieved 5As to 3As results from all our adopted schools.
