Sunway Group does its bid for the community when it completed an infrastructure improvement works at Sekolah Menengah
Kebangsaan (SMK) Subang Jaya an initiative the corporate giant undertakes through its philanthropic arm – Jeffrey Cheah Foundation.
The school compound has been deteriorating and made uneven through prolonged ponding of rainwater, disrupting morning assemblies and student activities on a regular basis. Sunway Paving Solutions, a business division of Sunway, worked with
the school’s Parents Teacher Association (PIBG), the school’s principal and the office of State Assemblywoman (ADUN) for Subang Jaya YB Michelle Ng to install interlocking pavers which are designed to withstand extreme weather.
At a special ceremony today to mark the completion of this refurbishment, SMK Subang Jaya principal Pn. Rafidah Rashid and PIBG chair of SMK Subang Jaya En. Helmy Izzudin expressed their appreciation for Sunway’s contribution, allowing
students to convene and sit comfortably at the assembly area. En. Helmy Izuddin, Chair of PIBG SMK Subang Jaya said: “This contribution by Sunway is very much needed to improve the school’s infrastructure and create a
conducive environment to realise the aspirations of our national education system.
Tan Sri Datuk Seri Razman Hashim, deputy chairman of Sunway Group said: “Sunway is celebrating our 50th anniversary this year, and a key pillar of our success over the past five decades has been the support we receive from our communities.
Over the years, Sunway and the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation have contributed more than RM50 million over the years to the development and enhancement of several public schools nationwide. Adopting a social enterprise model, the Foundation is the largest of its kind advancing education in Malaysia and has awarded over RM670 million in scholarships to thousands of qualified and deserving young students to date.
