SASBADI HOLDINGS BERHAD 54 Sustainability Statement Giving Back To Society Supporting the broader community is a key part of our responsibility as an education solutions provider. Our initiatives focus on strengthening literacy development, uplifting vulnerable groups, enriching learning environments, and promoting Malaysia’s cultural and creative identity. Through these efforts, we aim to create meaningful and lasting impact within the communities we serve. This year, we partnered with Budak Jalanan Chow Kit and Arus Academy, who aim to provide education and a safe environment for underprivileged and stateless children largely from B40 communities. Sasbadi donated primary and secondary school workbooks worth RM20,930 to support their learning needs. In Sekinchan, Selangor, we contributed RM8,706 worth of textbooks, reference books, storybooks, educational comics, and other library resources to Sekolah Kebangsaan Parit Empat to facilitate the refurbishment of its school library. In collaboration with Balai Seni Negara, we supported the Program Merdeka Suka Cipta—an initiative that encourages Malaysians to express patriotism and unity through art and creativity. Sasbadi contributed 50 copies of Pendidikan Seni Visual SPM Seni Halus to help nurture artistic appreciation and creativity. Sasbadi also supported the Majlis Buku Kebangsaan Malaysia (MBKM) in promoting the upcoming International Publishers Congress (IPC), which will be held in Kuala Lumpur from 5–9 July 2026. The IPC is a global forum that brings together publishing leaders to discuss industry innovation, international collaboration, and emerging trends in literacy and content development. To assist Malaysia in showcasing its publishing capabilities on the world stage, we contributed RM100,000 toward MBKM’s efforts. Advocating STEM Culture STEM education plays a crucial role in preparing students for future industries and cultivating a workforce with strong problemsolving and innovation capabilities. By supporting STEM initiatives, we help nurture Malaysia’s next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders. Since 2005, Sasbadi has worked closely with the MOE to promote meaningful STEM engagement through hands-on robotics and STEM-related activities. Over the years, we have dedicated resources and expertise to organising major national robotics competitions such as the National Robotics Competition (NRC) and FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Malaysia, providing students with opportunities to build problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration skills. We also support Malaysian teams in international competitions, including the World Robot Olympiad (WRO) and FLL International events. This sustained collaboration contributed to Malaysia’s outstanding performance at the 2025 WRO in Singapore, where the Malaysian contingent achieved the highest number of awards (4 Gold awards, 4 Silver awards and 2 Excellence awards) among participants from 91 countries, surpassing more than 1,770 competitors. Beyond large-scale competitions, Sasbadi continued to expand STEM access within communities. Through PUSPANITA’s Program Ziarah Cakna, we donated a LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime Expansion Set valued at RM1,250 to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Langkawi Pulau Tuba, supporting students in building advanced robotics models. Additionally, we contributed a LEGO® Education SPIKE™ Prime (Core Set), valued at RM3,850, to Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Asajaya in Kota Samarahan, Sarawak, providing rural students with hands-on exposure to robotics, coding, and design thinking. Across our various initiatives, Sasbadi remains dedicated to creating equitable opportunities for learners and communities nationwide. By supporting digital readiness, enhancing educational access for underserved groups, strengthening literacy and cultural appreciation, and nurturing future-ready STEM talent, we continue to invest in a more inclusive and empowered Malaysia. These efforts reflect our unwavering belief that education, in all its forms, is the foundation for sustainable growth and meaningful social progress.
