Sasbadi Annual Report 2017

SASBADI HOLDINGS BERHAD (1022660-T) 38 FOR THE COMMUNITY We recognise the importance of corporate social responsibility and believe that it is our duty as a Malaysian corporate citizen to give back to the community and help those in need. Every year, we actively participate in and support various initiatives relating to education for the community. Helping children with educational needs holds a special place in our hearts because we believe education is a birthright. We stand firm that every child deserves equal opportunity and access to quality education. We also believe it is crucial to drive and support educational programmes, particularly those that encourage the development of skills for the 21st century. Amalan Bestari dan Inovasi dalam Kaedah Pengajaran dan Pemudahcaraan Mata Pelajaran Sains di Bilik Darjah Seminars From July to October 2017, Sasbadi financed and organised a total of 18 seminars where we invited science teachers across Malaysia with the aim of guiding them on Teaching and Facilitating (“PdPc”) science lessons in the classroom. Aside from that, the seminars also shared methods about Teaching the Skills of Learning ( Mengajar Kemahiran Belajar ) that would help students master effective ways in learning science. The programme which is aligned with the Government’s emphasis on Pengajaran dan Pembelajaran (“PdP”) Abad Ke-21 was approved and supported by the Ministry of Education Malaysia. Symposium on Science Education (“SoSE”) Jointly organised by Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, Majlis Profesor Negara and Kuala Lumpur Engineering Science Fair, the Symposium on Science Education (“SoSE”) is an event that Sasbadi has been a part of for three (3) consecutive years since 2015. We support this programme as it is about sharing different ideas and techniques on innovative and effective teaching methods for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (“STEM”) subjects. In this programme, we shared insights on how to make the learning process fun and interactive with robotics. We also sponsored Science and Mathematics academic books for the teachers who attended the seminars. Field Trips for Educational Institutions Sasbadi hosts a number of field trips to our headquarters for secondary and tertiary educational institutions every year. We conduct these field trips with the aim of educating students and providing them the opportunity to better understand the industry of content creation and publishing. This year, Sasbadi hosted students from Universiti Teknologi MARA (“UiTM”), Institut Pendidikan Guru (”IPG”) Sultan Abdul Halim, INTI International College Subang, SMK Lubok China in Melaka, and a private college from Indonesia, named Universitas Lancang Kuning (“UNILAK”).
