​

PORT of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), a member of the MMC Group continues to bring cheers to underprivileged students in the Gelang Patah area by contributing school essentials during the company’s “Back-to-School Programme 2020” held at Gelang Patah Multi-Purpose Hall.

This year, a total of 170 underprivileged primary and secondary students were chosen to receive the school aid. Each selected student received stationeries, school bags, notebook, colouring utensils and many others.

The presentation ceremony was officiated by Johor State Exco of Housing, Communication & Multimedia cum Iskandar Puteri Assemblyman Dzulkefly Bin Ahmad. Also present were school principals, teachers and parents of students involved in the programme.

Speaking after the event, Dzulkefly said: “It is encouraging to see a dynamic and leading corporate organisation like PTP giving opportunities to these students who mostly come from the B40 family. With this assistance, not only will these students be able to pursue their education in the most comfortable manner, but also help relieve their families’ burdens with the beginning of a new school term.

“We see this collaborative effort as a sound investment into the future for Johor and Malaysia knowing that good education will be the foundation of the growth and wellbeing of the country. This is in line with the state government’s aspiration to have a sustainable human capital supply in Johor.
