Sasbadi Annual Report 2017

ANNUAL REPORT 2017 39 National Robotics Competition and FIRST LEGO League Malaysia Sasbadi has been a long time advocator of hands-on learning. We aspired to create a platform where students can engage in competitive fun and apply knowledge through critical thinking, collaboration and creativity. Sharing similar aspirations, we partnered with the Ministry of Education Malaysia (“MOE”) back in 2005 to organise the first National Robotics Competition (“NRC”). Today, the NRC has become a yearly event many look forward to and is an effective platform to nurture skills relating to STEM and 21st century skills. As an exclusive partner of LEGO Education in Malaysia, we also organise the FIRST LEGO League Malaysia annually. We provide the manpower, technical and financial support for these important programmes. Book Donations Every year, Sasbadi donates books to children across Malaysia. This year, we made donations through Yayasan Sukarelawan Siswa (“YSS”), Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi by providing academic and non-academic books for primary and secondary school children in the outskirts of Miri, Sawarak. We also donated a variety of our publications and products to the children in Kampung Muhibbah Poor Community in Puchong and the resource centre of a remote, all-girls boarding school in Arunachal Pradesh, India, amongst various other communities in need.
