The MoU, signed on Jan 16, at TAR UMT’s campus in Kuala Lumpur, marked the start of a five-year partnership that sees the KL-based property developer contributing RM500,000 towards the establishment of the TARC-Radium Care Student Loan, which will be managed by the TAR UMT Student Loan Fund committee.
