00:00 Star Media Group or SMG Berhad will continue to support the Penang Governor's Charity Foundation

00:08 Yayasan Amal Tuan Yang, terutama Yang di-Pertua Negeri Pulau Pinang, in its effort to do more

00:13 for the state.

00:15 Group Chief Executive Officer Alex Yow said, "The Star newspaper started in Penang, so it

00:20 is only natural that the company continues to support the foundation, which is a good

00:24 charity model."

00:25 "We would like to continue, Tuan said, it's very important to do charity in a partnership

00:31 manner because we all throw in our strength, because the Star is a well-known so-called

00:37 platform, so we bring people together.

00:39 I mean the sponsors are so happy because of their brand exposure as well as their direct

00:46 exposure to the state leader.

00:49 And of course Tuan is happy because he gets a partner to help him to raise funds for the

00:57 foundation.

00:58 So it's a very good model and I see that as long as we have the same cohesiveness, the

01:05 partnership can continue beyond what it is now."

01:09 He said that after handing over a RM20,600 mok cheque to Foundation Chief Executive Officer

01:15 Datuk Seri Rosali Mohamud at the Granite Luxury Hotel in Magazine Road on Wednesday.

01:21 Alex added that this is the second time that SMG has donated to the foundation, the first

01:27 was last year.

01:28 Witnessing the handover was Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Ahmad Fuzi Abdur Razak.

01:34 Rosali thanked SMG for organizing the event and contributing to the foundation.

01:38 "This program is very meaningful to the TYT Foundation because the donations that are

01:48 made through the media group's star are delivered to the foundation, especially Tuan Yang di-Pertua

01:55 Negeri Pulau Binang, will be used to raise or give donations to those in need.

02:06 There are six focuses in the Yasan Ahmad Foundation's efforts in Tuan Yang Negeri Pulau Binang.

02:14 The first is to help those in need or underprivileged groups.

02:19 The second is for health, the third is for education, the fourth is for social, the fifth

02:28 is for the environment, and the sixth is to build local economic development.

02:35 He said the foundation collected a total of 2.8 million ringgit last year and had allocated

02:43 approximately 2.75 million ringgit to support those in need in Penang.

02:48 Rosali also highlighted that the initiatives undertaken by corporate companies such as

02:52 SMG could serve as an excellent illustration of corporate social responsibility, or CSR,

02:58 that can be emulated by other corporate entities.

03:01 Thank you.
