THANKS to a brand distributor company, 65 charity and education groups received more than RM660,000.

The funds were donated by Thong Thye Siang Sdn Bhd (TTS), which is a local distributor for numerous brands including food and beverage.

TTS chief executive officer Lim Pay Kaon said the company had donated more than RM10mil to various welfare and educational institutions since 2007.

He said that TTS would continue to uphold the principle of giving back to society.

“We believe the donations can empower our communities by helping underprivileged groups, promoting environmental initiatives and enhancing school infrastructure.

“We also hope to inspire others in the community to participate in charitable initiatives,” he added.

Pay Kaon said all past TTS charity fund recipients were actively helping underprivileged groups and promoting environmental awareness.

“They include schools who provide a platform to develop the future pillars of our society.

“By contributing to these organisations and schools, we hope that they will be able to expand their reach to benefit more students and other people,” he added.

The donations were presented during TTS’ 41st anniversary celebration dinner at Klang Commercial Convention Centre, in Klang, Selangor.

During the dinner, Star Media Group Bhd (SMG) received RM30,000 from TTS in support of its ePaper Student Sponsorship Programme for this year.

Pay Kaon expressed hope that this sponsorship could ensure students, especially from underprivileged families, had consistent access to news and information that would enable them to keep abreast of current affairs.

“The ePaper can also be used as an educational tool to improve language proficiency, general knowledge and writing skills.

“Reading consistently is one of the habits of successful and powerful leaders.

“Hence, we hope that the programme can instil in students a reading culture that can be extended into adulthood,” he said.
