Commenting on the programme, Izlyn Ramli, Vice President, Group Brand and Communication, TM said, “Befitting of our position as Malaysia’s Convergence Champion, TM’s involvement in the promotion and adoption of STEM subjects among Malaysian students is a natural extension of our role in empowering Malaysia’s education system through innovation and digitalisation. We received tremendous support from participating students in the 3Ducation programme held for the first time last year. So we are continuing the programme this year and extended its reach to the academic communities from higher learning institutions nationwide. This programme provides a platform for the participants to meet, discuss and learn from each other as well as the industry experts in innovation. We truly hope that the experience gathered will promote academic excellence in STEM subjects through innovation amongst our students.” “As a corporate organisation that puts great emphasis on education and continuous learning, we will continue to focus on education, creating and implementing innovative programmes that will nurture and promote skills needed to create tomorrow’s innovative leaders. This 3Ducation programme is part of TM’s larger Corporate Responsibility (CR) initiatives under our three-pronged approach, namely education, community as well as nation building and the environment. TM has long been contributing and supporting the nation’s education field through scholarships and student sponsorships as well as school adoption programmes, across education levels, right from primary school to post graduate programmes.” Our support towards this programme also fits well with our role as the strategic partner in establishing the ecosystem for the Ministry of Education’s (MOE) digital transformation programme. As the key enabler for the national communications infrastructure, and the one and only capable of providing fully integrated telecommunications, ICT and digital services, TM looks forward to work with the Ministry and its agencies to accelerate the delivery of innovative digital services and solutions for the education sector towards building a knowledge-based workforce for the country. At TM, we are committed to bringing innovative technologies for the betterment of Malaysian education, true to our vision, “Making Life and Business Easier, for a Better Malaysia”,” she added.

TM Melaka contributes pendarfluor lamps to those in need in Melaka
In line with its vision of “Making Life and Business Easier, For A Better Malaysia”, Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) through TM Melaka today lit up residences of those in need particularly in Durian Tunggal area with its contribution of pendarfluor lamps. A total of 1,000 pendarfluor lamps were handed over to deserving families in Kampung Gangsa, Durian Tunggal by YB Mohd Sofi Wahab, Exco of Public Works, Transport & Public Utilities, who is also the Durian Tunggal Assemblyman. Also present at the handover ceremony was Meor Shahril Anuar Ahmad Rathuan, State General Manager, TM Melaka. The pendarfluor lamps were gathered from an upgrading exercise of the lighting system at Menara TM Melaka building which saw the replacement of pendarfluor lamps to LED lights towards a more efficient energy consumption. From the upgrading exercise, TM Melaka managed to gather a total of 3,000 pendarfluor lamps to be contributed to the beneficiary groups. This is in line with the Group’s effort in efficient waste management and recycling of usable office equipment. Meor Shahril Anuar who mooted the idea said, "TM Melaka embarked on the upgrading exercise in 2017. With the initiative, TM Melaka has recorded substantial savings in our electrical expenditure while increasing the awareness on green practices amongst the staff. Besides this upgrading exercise, at TM Melaka, we continue to support one of the three-pronged approach of the Company’s Corporate Responsibility (CR) initiatives namely the environment with various other green initiatives. This include recycling of used papers, encouraging the employees to bring their own food containers when buying food at the cafeteria as well as dissemination of periodical information on green practices to Warga Keluarga TM Melaka.” “At TM, we seek to minimise our use of materials as well as the generation of waste in order to lessen the pressure on the world’s natural resources. We employ the 3R principles of reduce, reuse and recycle throughout the Group, instilling the practice in our employees as well as those of our contractors. The distribution of the used pendafluor lamps to the communities today is an example of our initiatives towards this end. As a result of our ongoing 3R efforts, in 2017, we reduced more than 11% in solid and scheduled waste generation in TM’s selected buildings,” Meor elaborated. In addition to the Durian Tunggal area, TM Melaka will also contribute the pendarfluor lamps to those in needs in the areas of Ayer Keroh and Paya Rumput. Besides residences, the lamps will also be contributed to mosques, schools, hostels and multipurpose halls.
