Sasbadi Annual Report 2019

Nurturing Skills In Sasbadi, we take pride in championing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education since 2005. We believe in the value of cultivating the young generation to be future thinkers, creators and innovators. We encourage them to harness their higher order thinking skills such as complex problem solving, critical thinking, creativity and collaboration. We are working with a global brand like LEGO Education that focuses on providing fun and effective educational tools to promote hands-on learning through robotics and programming. Sasbadi is the organiser of annual robotics competitions such as the National Robotics Competition ("NRC"), National Robotics Open Competition ("NROC"), FIRST LEGO League ("FLL") Malaysia and FIRST LEGO League Junior ("FLL Jr.") Malaysia, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education Malaysia. To elevate to the next level, since 2016, we partnered with the University of Malaya on a robotics research and product development project for STEM education that aims to provide a comprehensive certification programme in the fields of robotic skills. Enriching Life At Sasbadi, we believe in continuous and lifelong learning. This is especially crucial in a hyper disruptive environment that runs on a knowledge-based economy. To facilitate a continuous learning journey that enriches the lives of our customers, Sasbadi aims to cater to customers of all ages through our wide array of offerings. In 2019, we expanded into providing upskilling products by offering practical and effective English learning solutions for job seekers and working adults. We recognise the importance of English proficiency for employment, professional development and career advancement so we partnered with global experts in the English language to design unique and effective English learning programmes. Sasbadi is a Preferred Partner for Linguaskill by Cambridge Assessment English and an exclusive partner for NYC English products in Malaysia. Forging Connections In Sasbadi, we believe in the power of collaboration for the benefit of education. A high-quality education entails inclusiveness, ensures equity and uses technology for better learning. We recognise that this can be achieved more effectively through collaborative effort that is empowered by a network of passionate individuals who share the same goal. As such, we founded MindTech Education Sdn Bhd (“MindTech Education”), our direct selling division to deliver a personal touch in providing our educational solutions across Malaysia. We understand that our diverse cultural backgrounds, level of acces- sibility, and experiences mean education solutions should be customisable and personalised to individual needs. Today, MindTech Education is actively reaching out to help close the gaps in education by making our digital education solution, i-LEARN Ace, highly accessible and affordable for all.
