Up to now, Azhar’s world has revolved around his home, his parents’ roadside food stall, his school and his friends. He knew little, beyond this boundary. Newspapers were read after unwrapping the groceries; and watching television at a neighbour’s house provided a refreshing conduit into the world beyond. His world expanded exponentially when a giant blue bus trundled into the school one Monday morning. Shortly after, his teacher herded his class up into the blue behemoth and into another dimension altogether. It was very unlike any bus he’d seen. For one, it was air-conditioned. Instead of seats, it had activity stations that featured interesting gadgets and devices. He was completely captivated and two facilitators were at hand to nurture this spark of interest for him and his classmates. Little did Azhar know, but he had just taken his first step. 02 PINTAR Foundation (827909-U) It has been seven years since PINTAR Foundation was formed and took its first steps as a non-profit organisation to facilitate the outreach to students such as Azhar through the PINTAR School Adoption Programme. Working in collaboration with companies in Malaysia, the PINTAR Programme targets children of underserved communities to inspire and motivate their interest in learning, and help them to realise their potential. At the inception of the PINTAR Programme, we envisaged that the collective efforts of the PINTAR Foundation and its member companies will culminate in contributing towards the improvements in student performance, especially for schools whose average passing rate of national examinations were below 65%. The PINTAR Programme had created a win-win situation for all, as the schools benefit from the quality educational programmes sponsored by these companies at their schools and the companies benefit from being able to engage with the communities that matter to them through a truly sustainable corporate responsibility (CR) platform. Aligned to national education agenda Through the years, the PINTAR Programme has remained relevant to the national education agenda and is aligned with five out of the 11 strategic and operational shifts of the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025 that offers a vision of the desired education system and student aspirations that will prepare our youths to meet the challenges of the 21st century economy. PINTAR School Adoption Programme by companies is a perfect example of the kind of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) envisaged by Shift 9: Partner with parents, community, and private sector at scale. CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Enhancing the Adopt-a-School Programme The Ministry of Education launched the PINTAR (Promoting Intelligence, Nurturing Talent and Advocating Responsibility) Programme in 2006 to encourage companies to partner with underserved schools to introduce new technologies, after-school activities, literacy projects, education clinics and motivational talks to their students. Going forward, the Ministry will encourage more corporate partners to join the programme and more schools to receive sponsorship. – Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013-2025 Of interest to note is that most of the schools adopted by PINTAR members are national schools in the rural areas. This is a deliberate strategy by the Foundation and its members to reach out to underperforming schools, particularly those in rural areas, to address the rural-urban imbalance that invariably exacerbates the gap that already exist. In addition, the PINTAR Programme’s mandatory three-year adoption period together with PINTAR’s four core modules — motivational and team building; education support, capability and capacity building; and reducing vulnerabilities and social issues; fit in well in ensuring the sustainability of the programme and impact on its beneficiaries. It is a solid CR platform that not only complements the ongoing efforts of the MOE but reaches out to these schools and students who would otherwise have limited access to such programmes. Engaging our stakeholders Over the years, the Foundation has provided value and gained the trust of its key stakeholders, amongst whom are teachers, students, the MOE, state education departments (JPNs), and its member companies. In ensuring that we maintain our alignment with the MOE’s targets and aspirations, our management team engages with the respective state JPNs to maintain a strong professional relationship with them and to understand better the issues on the ground. The Foundation also strives to provide more useful services and value to our members so that the PINTAR Programme can continue to make a positive impact and yield the desired outcomes for our beneficiaries. We assist our member companies by helping them shape a more structured contribution, identify the right school that needs assistance and assess the needs of the school but yet giving autonomy to the company to assume a more direct and engaging role in supporting the selected school. Collaborations There are a number of organisations that have made it possible for PINTAR students to secure access to holistic education beyond the classroom. Danajamin Nasional Berhad had continued their sponsorship of the ‘Danajamin100 Leadership Programme’, a student leadership programme which aims to develop the leadership potential of students over a three-year period from Form 4 to pre-University level. Allianz Malaysia Berhad sponsored an activity station in a national programme, enabling students to learn about financial management. A grant by The Asia Foundation enabled the ‘Aflateen Financial Literacy Programme’, to be introduced to PINTAR secondary schools, promoting social awareness and financial management. The collaboration with the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) gave PINTAR schools the opportunity to participate in the ‘My City 2050 Competition’, a town-planning competition which stimulated their students’ imagination and creative energy. We are indeed proud of our students’ ability and confidence to compete with others, including international schools. Our members When the PINTAR Programme was launched in 2006, 17 government-linked companies (GLCs) adopted 42 schools. Our membership grew steadily over the years and at end 2015, we had a total of 45 PINTAR members, comprising both GLCs and private-sector companies. In 2015, eight companies came on board as PINTAR Foundation members, doubling that of new entrants in 2014. We extend our warmest welcome to Yayasan Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin; UEM Group Berhad and four of its subsidiaries – Cement Industries of Malaysia Berhad, PLUS Malaysia Berhad, UEM Builders Berhad and UEM Edgenta Berhad; Kulim (Malaysia) Berhad, and SEGi Holdings Sdn Bhd. Together with our existing members, they adopted 21 new schools, bringing the total number of PINTAR schools to 406. 2015 45 406 PINTAR Members 39 adopted schools 2014 385 ANNUAL REPORT 2015 03 CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT To-date, PINTAR has reached out and touched the lives of more than 730,000 students across the country. This remarkable growth in members and schools adopted is an undeniable testimony of our valued members’ and partners’ commitment to the PINTAR Programme, and who were themselves richly rewarded, in turn, by their experience working with various schools. As the Foundation works towards our corporate objective to become the ‘Centre of Excellence for School Adoption’ by 2018, the sustainability of the Foundation is imperative. Whilst the Foundation is largely supported by a grant from Yayasan Hasanah in 2015, it is important that the Foundation continues to raise its own funds to support its operations and national programmes. The Marketing team is thus looking into a more substantive fund raiser event in 2016. Our national programmes Another key initiative in 2016 is to explore ways to help our members deliver more effective programmes to support 21st century learning in schools. Amidst the programmes implemented by our members in their adopted schools, PINTAR runs its own national programmes in parallel. One such initiative is our flagship national programme, PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit (PMLU), which has adopted a new theme for 2015/2016: “Promoting Intelligence”. In 2015, we conducted a Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders (LPPSL), a programme very much in line with PINTAR Core Module 3: Capability and Capacity Building; and Shift 5 of the Malaysian Education Blueprint 2013-2025, for the fourth batch of senior school leaders. The collective efforts of PINTAR schools’ leaders, teachers and students; and PINTAR members have motivated student performance, as seen in the increased passing rate for three major public examinations, namely the UPSR which rose by 2.1%, the PT3 results by 7.6% and the SPM by 21%. Congratulations to all for their commendable efforts! Looking ahead We reiterate our key focus area for 2016 which will be to work with the related stakeholders and step up efforts towards bridging the rural-urban gap in education and preparing our youths to meet the challenges of their generation. To compete globally, our workforce needs to be proficient in English so that we can communicate internationally and use the language as a tool to access science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) to innovate and create a more competitive economy. The Foundation and its members will be increasing their efforts to implement a Highly Immersive Programme (HIP) in English that would help students step up the use of the language and in the long term increase their proficiency. The Foundation’s marketing efforts will be intensified to bring in more members to join the PINTAR Programme, especially companies from East Malaysia to adopt schools within their community, and thus assist more schools in the region who are in need. 04 PINTAR Foundation (827909-U) PINTAR is working in strong collaboration with all relevant stakeholders to drive for effective implementation of its strategy and action plans which are designed to help address the needs identified. Acknowledging our Stakeholders I take this opportunity on behalf of the Foundation, to express our sincere appreciation to Khazanah Nasional Berhad via its foundation, Yayasan Hasanah, the Ministry of Education, state education departments and all participating schools, particularly the school principals, teachers, and students for their confidence and commitment to the Foundation. Our appreciation especially goes out to PINTAR members and partners, the Foundation’s programme sponsors and partners for their support and commitment to the PINTAR Programme throughout the years. To PINTAR’s management and staff at the Foundation as well as our Board of Trustees, I offer my sincere gratitude for your trust, support and assistance, working as a team to map out PINTAR’s direction, and for your steadfast commitment in this immensely satisfying journey. Without doubt, we could not have made it thus far in our journey had it not been for all our stakeholders mentioned. We look forward to your continuous support and active involvement in the PINTAR schools. Together, and with added impetus, we will work towards contributing to the development of our human capital to meet the challenges of the 21st century. With this, on behalf of the Board, it gives me great pleasure to present to you PINTAR Foundation’s Annual Report 2015.

UPSR RESULTS 2013¯2015 64% This year’s PINTAR school performance in the UPSR saw a 2.1% increase in the PINTAR Average Passing Rate compared to last year, while the PT3 results recorded an increase of 7.6%. Last year’s PINTAR schools’ performance in the SPM examination saw a 21% increase in the PINTAR Average Passing Rate, compared to the results recorded for the year 2014. 63 62 2013 In addition, some of the programmes implemented under PINTAR have been non-academic in nature, as these are aimed at providing holistic education to students. Thus, to measure results quantitively is rather challenging. 2015 National Average 2015 2013: Data from 116 PINTAR schools 2014: Data from 147 PINTAR schools 2015: Data from 108 PINTAR schools Percentage of Average Passing Rate Percentage of Average Passing Rate 80 80 84% 100 71% 100 20 38.6% 40 31% 40 67% 60 79% SPM RESULTS 2013¯2015 88% PMR¯PT3 RESULTS 2013¯2015 60 2014 2015 0 20 0 2013 2013: Data from 16 PINTAR schools 2014: Data from 16 PINTAR schools 2015: Data from 19 PINTAR schools 12 2014 PINTAR Foundation (827909-U) 2013 2014 2015 National Average 2015 Details 201320142015 Percentage of Passing Rate 84 67 88 Total No of Schools 16 15 20 Total No of Candidates 2,669 1,833 2,666 Total No of Students who Passed 2,244 1,174 2,177 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Total Income 2015 Source of Fund Amount (RM) Percentage (%) 751,684 16.6 2,679,470 59.2 Interest Income 196,990 4.4 Consultancy Service 330,000 7.3 Others 1 565,59012.5 MOF Grant YH Grant Total 1 4,523,734100.0 Income from fund raising activity, members’ subscription fee, sponsorships and donations. 12.5% Other Income 7.3% Consultancy Service 4.4% Interest Income 16.6% MOF Grant Total Income 2015 44.7% Operations Cost Total Expenditure 2015 55.3% Programme Management 1 59.2% YH Grant Total Expenditure 2015 Expenditure Amount (RM) Percentage (%) Programme Management 2,312,69055.3 Operations Cost 1,872,738 Total 4,185,428100.0 1 1 44.7 Overall cost for National Programmes / activities. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 13 OPERATIONS REVIEW The PINTAR Programme was launched in December 2006 and PINTAR Foundation (the Foundation) was established in 2008 to spearhead the PINTAR School Adoption Programme with a mission to make a meaningful difference in the lives of Malaysian students from underserved communities throughout the country. 14 PINTAR Foundation (827909-U) OPERATIONS REVIEW Throughout the years, the Foundation has remained steadfast in its mission and has focussed on providing targeted programme interventions to improve the education outcomes of students of underperforming schools nationwide. Working hand-in-hand with multiple stakeholders, especially PINTAR members and partners, the PINTAR Programme has gone from strength to strength as the Foundation has learned many valuable lessons through the years. Our implementation model has evolved into what we believe is a holistic, empowering and long-term approach to addressing the challenges facing Malaysian students from underserved communities. PINTAR members have remained committed to reach out to more students of underperforming schools and have given their adopted schools the support they needed, as well as provided opportunities and access to inspire a values-driven generation that will be more adequately prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century. Financial Performance In the year under review, the total income was RM4,523,734, while the total expenditure for the year was RM4,185,428, which is a slight increase of approximately 6.2% compared to last year. The increased spending is due to the implementation of additional programmes such as the PINTAR Satisfaction Survey 2015. Total Expenditure Total Income RM4,523,734 RM4,185,428 6.2% About 55.3% of the total expenditure was spent on the implementation of National Programmes for PINTAR schools. This included the operation of two PINTAR Mobile Learning Units (PMLUs), the implementation of the Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders (LPPSL) as well as monitoring and evaluation (M&E), which amounted to a total of RM2,312,690. A further 44.7%, amounting to RM1,872,738, was attributed to human resource (HR), marketing, communication, stakeholder engagement and administrative costs. In 2015, the operations cost of the Foundation was largely funded by the Yayasan Hasanah grant obtained in the same year and partly by the remaining government grant that was obtained in 2009. At the same time, in line with our sustainability strategy, the Foundation also obtained additional funds through its consultancy service, fundraising activities, sponsorship as well as interest income. Collaborating to Nurture Malaysia’s Future The Foundation’s three key tenets of ‘Promoting Intelligence’, ‘Nurturing Talent’, and ‘Advocating Responsibility’, and our four core modules – motivational and teambuilding; education support; capability and capacity building; and reducing vulnerabilities and social issues; provide a strong platform that guides the holistic development of a child. The Foundation works in partnership with companies under the Public-Private Sector Partnership (PPP) in education to implement the PINTAR School Adoption Programme in schools which need it most. The Foundation also works closely with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and related departments within the ministry in order to ensure that all our programmes and processes complement and support existing on-going efforts by the MOE and the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 15 OPERATIONS REVIEW RM32,000 per school 273 volunteers 294 activitie s In 2015, the Foundation welcomed eight new members to its fold. New Premium member, Yayasan Tan Sri SM Nasimuddin, joined the Foundation in March, while new Ordinary members, Kulim (Malaysia) Berhad and Cement Industries of Malaysia Berhad joined in January; UEM Edgenta Berhad in February; PLUS Malaysia Berhad in April, and SEGi Holdings Sdn Bhd in August. UEM Group Berhad and its subsidiary, UEM Builders Berhad, upgraded their Partner status to Ordinary member in March and January, respectively. In 2015, the Foundation successfully collaborated with three new partners for its PINTAR National Programmes. They were Allianz Malaysia Berhad which sponsored the Logical Intelligence station on board one of the PMLUs; The Asia Foundation for the Aflateen Financial Literacy Programme; and Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) for the My City 2050 Competition under its Arena of Youth Programme. The Foundation finished the year with a total of 45 members and partners, and 21 new schools, bringing the total number of PINTAR schools to 406 schools. In spite of the challenging economic environment in 2015, our members, who reported, funded a total of about RM2.5 million for programmes at their schools, spending an average of RM32,000 per school. The 13 PINTAR members reported a total of 294 activities implemented at their schools, covering all four core modules. PINTAR members also contributed to the programme in terms of manpower, with at least 273 volunteers from their organisations who worked on the ground to ensure the smooth running of the programmes at their adopted schools. Together with our members and partners, the Foundation helps students of PINTAR schools build the foundation for lifelong learning, and offer a fun and out-of-classroom learning experience that helps nurture them. 16 PINTAR Foundation (827909-U) The commitment of our members and partners, together with the efforts of the school leadership and teachers, have yielded positive results which are reflected in the performance of PINTAR schools in the three major public examinations, and LINUS tests. Compared to the previous year, the performance of PINTAR schools saw an increase in the passing rate for three major public examinations, namely UPSR which rose by 2.1%, the PT3 results by 7.6%, and the SPM by 21%. Apart from the examination results, other indicators for PINTAR schools include the LINUS rating for Bahasa Melayu, Mathematics and English. The LINUS for PINTAR schools measured over two years in 2014 and 2015 with the same cohort of students saw a significant improvement, most notably, in English, which had improved by 17.6%. The average school attendance rates for PINTAR students also remained steady at 91% in 2015. NATIONAL PROGRAMMES PINTAR National Programmes are national scale programmes designed, implemented, managed and monitored by the Foundation. These programmes are executed across PINTAR schools nationwide and support the aspirations and goals set by MOE. Our National Programmes adopt a fun and interactive approach to learning while complementing the academic curriculum, and promoting learning through creative, innovative and mentally stimulating methods to help students discover their talents, develop leadership and communication skills, as well as instil good moral values. In 2015, the Foundation implemented three National Programmes: PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit (PMLU), Aflateen Financial Literacy Programme and Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders (LPPSL). PINTAR Mobile Learning Unit The PMLU is a thematic customised vehicle fitted with various educational tools and interactive learning stations, which serves to reach out to PINTAR students. An alternative to the conventional classroom, the PMLU adds experiential learning with elements of fun and active interest to the learning process. OPERATIONS REVIEW PINTAR, working alongside The Asia Foundation, provided training for PINTAR secondary school teachers who, in turn, delivered the modules to inspire and empower their students to lead responsible lives and to become agents of change. Ten PINTAR secondary schools participated in the programme, of which students from eight schools took part in the inaugural Aflateen School Project Competition 2015 to see how well they fare in planning, budgeting, saving and spending responsibly. Since its introduction in 2009, the PMLU remains as one of the most popular and well-received national programmes. It has remained evergreen through the continually refreshed themes which maintain the novelty of the PMLU. Since 2013, the Foundation has maintained two PMLUs to visit the ever increasing number of PINTAR schools. The theme for the year 2015/2016 was ‘Promoting Intelligence’, which featured learning stations that featured various traits of intelligence: verbal, logical, musical, visual, kinaesthetics and emotional. This theme is very much in line with MOE’s goal to produce students with higher order thinking skills (HOTS) and seeks to develop the thinking skills of students, inspiring them to become lifelong learners and problem-solvers with creative solutions. Accomplishments in 2015 Theme Coverage Participants Achievements Promoting Intelligence Visited 185 schools and 20 orphanages 53,290 visitors including 49,797 students, 1,334 teachers and 2,159 others 90% satisfaction rating was achieved among visitors who were surveyed Ten projects were submitted and evaluated by The Asia Foundation and its partner, JP Morgan Chase Foundation, of which five projects won the top three prizes.

It promotes a holistic approach to savings and encourages the development of a savings habit. Aflateen School Project Competition 1st Place SMK Munshi Abdullah Selangor 2nd Place SMK Gombak Setia SM Sains Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Selangor 3rd Place SMK Gelang Patah SAM Bagan Terap Johor Selangor Pahang ANNUAL REPORT 2015 17 OPERATIONS REVIEW Leadership Programme For Pintar School Leaders The Foundation recognises the school leader’s critical role in creating the right learning environment while motivating teachers and students. Thus, in September 2011, the Foundation embarked on a mission to develop school leaders’ capacities and capabilities which led to the creation of the Leadership Programme for PINTAR School Leaders (LPPSL), in line with PINTAR Core Module 3: Capability and Capacity Building. LPPSL is a strategic capacity building programme which recognises that a highly motivated and dedicated teaching workforce is the key to creating a positive impact on schools and students alike. It provides awareness and understanding of critical factors that assist school leaders in spearheading effectiveness and excellence in their schools. It deepens understanding of the school leadership role; the best practices in school leadership and management, and equips school leaders with effective management models to assist them in their leadership role. In 2015, the fourth batch of school leaders participated in LPPSL, completing Phase 1 and 2, of a three-phase programme. It involved 93 principals / headmasters, senior teachers, counsellors and discipline teachers from 25 selected PINTAR schools nationwide. The objective of Phase 1, attended by 50 principals / headmasters and senior teachers, was to evoke the leaders’ self-realisation on key critical factors, namely effective communication, emotional intelligence, as well as problem solving and transformation of management skills, which can help them in leading their respective schools towards effectiveness and excellence. The objective of Phase 2, attended by 50 counsellors and discipline teachers, was to equip them with effective and essential leadership skills in order to support their school leaders’ important role in creating the right learning environment while motivating their colleagues and students. Participants from both Phases 1 and 2 are working closely together in spearheading effectiveness and excellence in their respective schools. 18 PINTAR Foundation (827909-U) The LPPSL programme in 2015 was facilitated by a team from Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI), led by Professor Dr Omar Abdull Kareem, an associate professor with the Department of Education Management, Faculty of Management and Economics of UPSI. Accomplishments in 2015 Phase 1, Batch 4 • Participants: 48 principals / headmasters and senior teachers • Achievement: 100% of participants were satisfied with the training Phase 2, Batch 4 • Participants: 45 counsellors and discipline teachers • Achievement: 90% of participants were satisfied with the training STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT The success of the PINTAR Programme lies in the effective collaboration of various stakeholders. Our focus is on strengthening the relations we hold with our key stakeholder – PINTAR members and partners who have contributed to the growth and success of the PINTAR Programme over the years. Another key stakeholder is the MOE and the state education departments (JPNs). By working closely and addressing their needs and concerns, the Foundation can continue to ensure that the students and schools will ultimately gain the most out of the PINTAR Programme. OPERATIONS REVIEW PINTAR Roundtables PINTAR Members’ Retreat 2015 PINTAR bi-annual roundtables are an arena for PINTAR members and partners to network, exchange ideas and experience, and discuss on issues that would lead to better programmes for PINTAR schools and influence student outcomes. Two Roundtables were held in 2015. Twenty-four participants from 14 PINTAR member organisations attended the PINTAR Members’ Retreat 2015 at Le Grandeur Palm Resort in Johor, from 15-17 November 2015. The retreat, which is held every two years, is a platform for the Foundation and its members to foster closer working relationship. At the 23rd Roundtable meeting on 17 February, the Foundation disclosed the Members’ Year End Report 2014 to its members and partners, and shared the Foundation’s programmes and activities planned for 2015. PINTAR members were also briefed by two MOE officers on the latest initiatives by the ministry - the Education Transformation Programme at the district level, and the incorporation of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) into classroom lessons at public schools, which members may find useful to incorporate into their programmes and activities for their respective schools. The officers also suggested ways on how PINTAR members could incorporate HOTS in their school programmes that will create pathways for a more holistic student, as opposed to the previous pedagogy styles that were exam-oriented. On 15 September, the Foundation held the 24th PINTAR Members’ Roundtable 2015 where they shared with its members and partners on the Members’ Mid-Year Report 2015, and the latest updates on PINTAR programmes and activities. PINTAR members were also briefed by an MOE officer on the concept of the 21st Century Classroom. The officer also shared insights on how the school and class environment can affect and influence student outcomes, and ideas on how PINTAR members can support or help underperforming schools especially those who do not have adequate space to conduct lessons and activities. The highlight of the retreat was the discussion session on the sustainability and impact of PINTAR Programme, facilitated by Yayasan Hasanah Senior Vice President, Dr Jasmina Kuka. The discussions were centred on PINTAR four core modules, and a standard measure for M&E on effectiveness of members’ programmes at schools. Overall, the PINTAR Members’ Retreat 2015 was a success with 5% increase in the number of members’ participation. A majority of the members felt that the discussions were beneficial. Engaging the Ministry of Education and State Education Departments The Foundation continues to receive valuable support from the MOE and JPNs for its programmes at schools. Throughout 2015, the Foundation regularly engaged with various departments within the MOE and JPNs to update them on PINTAR programmes, as well as discuss issues relating to PINTAR schools, including issues on school adoption, and schools’ or teachers’ involvement in programmes. The meetings were also aimed to foster closer ties between the Foundation and the MOE and JPNs. During the year, the Foundation attended several meetings with two departments of MOE, namely, Bahagian Pengurusan Sekolah Harian, and Jemaah Nazir dan Jaminan Kualiti, and visited a total of nine JPNs in Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Labuan, Johor, Kedah, Negeri Sembilan, Pahang, Perak, Perlis and Sabah. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 19 OPERATIONS REVIEW MONITORING AND EVALUATION BUILDING BRAND EQUITY The year 2015 has been a year of implementation, review and fine-tuning for the Foundation as it continues in its quest to further improve the M&E of the PINTAR Programme. The role of PINTAR Foundation may have evolved over the years, but the common denominators that run through are: service and impact. Our communication strategy is about raising awareness of the PINTAR Programme as a time-tested programme which provides a solid corporate responsibility (CR) platform that has potential positive impact on its beneficiaries; and the value of PINTAR Foundation as the centre of excellence for school adoption. Since 2013, the Foundation has in place an M&E template which has been developed to help members monitor programmes implemented at their adopted schools, and allow the Foundation to gauge the effectiveness of the PINTAR four core modules and how the programmes have benefitted target groups. This year, the M&E template was revised and further improved to help members monitor and report on the impact of their programmes more effectively. Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey 2015 The Foundation conducted its annual Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey to help the Foundation identify specific areas for improvement that can bring the PINTAR Programme to greater heights in the future. The Stakeholder Satisfaction Survey 2015 was conducted in July and August 2015 by an external party, AUFA Intelligence, for PINTAR key stakeholders. A total of 270 respondents from 55 PINTAR schools and 42 respondents from 25 PINTAR members and partners gave their feedback. The survey outcome noted an overall satisfaction index score of 86.5 by the schools and 77.1 by the members; indicating the schools were very satisfied with the members’ programmes while PINTAR members were satisfied with the Foundation and its services. Ninety-eight per cent of the schools perceived that the PINTAR four core modules conducted had achieved the objective in enhancing the students’ academic performance, while 96% of the members agreed that the modules were able to provide holistic education. TOTAL OF 270 RESPONDENTS Overall Satisfaction Index Score 20 86.5 77.1 schools members PINTAR Foundation (827909-U) Building and strengthening the PINTAR brand continue to be one of the main priorities of PINTAR Foundation. Throughout 2015, several communication and marketing initiatives were implemented to achieve the corporate objectives of the Foundation. Various channels were employed, including the use of traditional and new media to reach our target audience. Media Engagement There is no doubt that the media can play an important role in ensuring the general public and our stakeholders, especially potential members, continue to learn about PINTAR and what we do. This positive awareness of PINTAR will enable the Foundation to make better inroads in our marketing efforts, with the ultimate desired outcome of getting more underperforming schools adopted and more needy students assisted. In 2015, the Foundation leveraged on its National Programmes and other activities to engage the media and cultivate a closer relationship by understanding what the media needs and wants for its content, and allowing them access to information within the Foundation that would be able to meet their expectations. In addition, we organised an Editors’ Luncheon on 5 March at Pullman Kuala Lumpur Bangsar to establish a better relationship with the media. The luncheon served as a platform for PINTAR Board of Trustees and management team to share the achievements of the Foundation in 2014 as well as its plans for 2015. This has proven to be a good strategy as the Communications team was able to garner interview spots for a number of prominent print, online and broadcast media channels that led to greater publicity for the PINTAR Programme, achieving a media value worth RM1.9 million in 2015. OPERATIONS REVIEW PINTAR CONSULTANCY SERVICE The PINTAR Consultancy Service (PCS) provides an end-to-end service delivery to companies that wish to participate in the PINTAR Programme, but are limited by capacity and resource. Engaging the Public The Foundation implements the programme on behalf of the company, while regular M&E are conducted and findings reported to the company on a quarterly or halfyearly basis, depending on the agreement. PINTAR Foundation maintains regular communication with its stakeholders by keeping them abreast with the latest news and programme updates through various traditional and new media channels. Apart from implementing programmes for companies, the Foundation also provides PCS for companies who wish to sponsor its National Programmes. Our quarterly newsletter, PINTAR Voices, not only keeps our key stakeholders informed of the most recent activities and achievements, but also gives an added value to PINTAR members as the newsletter also features the activities that PINTAR members and partners run at their adopted schools. Our PINTAR website, available in two languages – English and Bahasa Malaysia, continues to provide our stakeholders with up-to-date PINTAR news. Apart from our website, the Foundation has social media accounts, specifically Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn, to maintain a more engaging relationship with its increasingly internet-savvy stakeholders and to relay information to the public in real time. Fundraising Fundraising remained an important agenda of the Foundation in 2015. Besides the sales of books published by and for the Foundation, which are ‘The Malaysia Art Book for Children’, ‘Buku Seni Rupa Malaysia untuk Kanak-kanak’, and the bi-lingual ‘Beating the Odds’, the Fundraising team managed to close sponsorship deals worth RM260,000 for two of its national programmes. They are Allianz Malaysia Berhad who sponsored the Logical Intelligence station on board one of the PMLUs for two years, and the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) for the My City 2050 Competition under its Arena of Youth Programme. Danajamin100 Student Leadership Programme The Danajamin100 Leadership Programme (Danajamin100) is a three-year programme aimed to develop and maximise students’ leadership abilities and potential through a variety of well-designed engagements. Programme sponsor, Danajamin Nasional Berhad, appointed the Foundation, under its PINTAR Consultancy Service (PCS), to manage the implementation of the Danajamin100 Programme for three batches of students. The Danajamin100 Batch 1 comprises 30 PINTAR secondary students from schools within the states of Selangor and Negeri Sembilan, namely, SMK Munshi Abdullah, SMK Gombak Setia, SMK Pulau Indah, SMK Juasseh and SMR Agama Repah, who began this threeyear programme in 2014. The students were selected for the programme based on their academic results, co-curricular performance and leadership potential. Throughout 2015, Batch 1 had undergone activities and camps focusing on study excellence, character building, leadership, communication and soft skills. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 21 OPERATIONS REVIEW Concurrently, the second batch of 30 students was selected based on a similar criteria and involved students from SMK Ayer Hangat and SMK Agama Baling in Kedah; SMK Sungai Acheh and SMK Hutchings in Penang, and SMK Chenderiang in Perak who went through an orientation session and training at the Outward Bound School in Lumut, Perak in November 2015. Arena of Youth: My City 2050 Competition The Foundation will continue to seek opportunities such as this for students of PINTAR schools to explore new fields of interest which cannot be taught in the confines of a classroom. EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT The Foundation would not be where it is today, without the dedication and passion of the people within it. Each staff, in its respective role, has contributed to the success of the Foundation. Recognising that, the staff members’ continued wellbeing remains a top priority. The Foundation continues to provide a safe and conducive work environment and culture in which their welfare is assured. Besides that, it continues to emphasise on building PINTAR staff’s capabilities and improving work processes to ensure a smoother and more efficient organisation. The Foundation is a programme partner for the My City 2050 Competition (MC2050), organised by the Construction Industry Development Board Malaysia (CIDB) in conjunction with the International Construction Week. The MC2050, opened to secondary students aged between 15-17 years old, is a town-planning competition that was conceived as a means to develop the next generation of builders. Eight PINTAR secondary schools and two international schools were shortlisted to send their 10-member team to the MC2050 Finale, where the teams were given the task to envision, design and build a model of a sustainable city in 2050. The participating PINTAR schools were SMK Seri Kota Paloh and SMK Kompleks Sultan Abu Bakar in Johor; SM Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah in Pahang; SMK Munshi Abdullah and SMK Ampang Pecah from Selangor; SMK Ayer Hangat and SMK Kota Kuala Muda in Kedah, and SMK Sungai Ara in Pulau Pinang. 22 PINTAR Foundation (827909-U) In 2015, PINTAR Foundation had 18 staff, and based on a training needs analysis, staff participated in programmes conducted by external trainers on strategic planning and implementation, project management, financialrelated programmes, Microsoft Office Excel skills, communication-related programmes and presentation skills, where each of them received an average of two training days. Acknowledging that “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”, the Foundation encourages its employees to take part in activities that build camaraderie and strengthen working relationships. A Staff Day was organised where the 2-day 1-night trip to Janda Baik was filled with ice breakers, team building activities and a motivational talk that helped achieve the objective of building a better and more effective team.

Programmes conducted were concentrated on supporting their in-class learning capacity to help them achieve better results and raise the schools’ overall performance. DATUK SYED MOHAMED SYED IBRAHIM President / Chief Executive Officer “PINTAR’s comprehensive agenda brought students, teachers, academicians, corporate figures and staff together. Its programme was not only confined to the four walls of the classrooms but well extended beyond learning, literacy, leadership and even green subjects. Such wealth of newfound knowledge will surely boost the morale of students and staff involved in all these activities. With PINTAR leading our reach to schools, IIB has been seen as a caring catalytic developer that places importance on growth with equity.” Total Schools Adopted: 6 schools (active) 2 school (completed adoption period) 32 PINTAR Foundation (827909-U) IIB’s Tunas Didik programme provided free tuition classes to over 500 students on weekends throughout the months of March to August.

Kulim is equally excited and encouraged to see the academic scores attained by its PINTAR students in the national examination which showed a marked improvement from the previous year.

There have been no significant changes in the nature of the principal activities during the financial year. The Company is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia. The registered office of the Company is located at A-16-8, Menara UOA Bangsar, No.5 Jalan Bangsar Utama 1, 59000, Kuala Lumpur The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Trustees in accordance with a resolution of the Trustees on 7 June 2016. 2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2.1Basis of preparation The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and with the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (“MFRSs”), which is in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (“RM”), which is also the Company’s functional currency. 2.2Changes in accounting policies The new and revised MFRSs, which are mandatory for companies with financial period beginning on or after 1 January 2015, did not give rise to any significant effects on the financial statements of the Company. 2.3Standards issued but not yet effective The Trustees expect that the new MFRSs which are issued but not yet effective for the financial year ended 31 December 2015 will not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in the period of initial application. 2.4Significant accounting estimates and judgments The preparation of financial statements in accordance with MFRSs requires the use of certain accounting estimates and exercise of judgments. Estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on past experience, reasonable expectations of future events and other factors. The Trustees are of the opinion that there are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. 2.5Summary of significant accounting policies (a) Property and equipment All items of property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item of property and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent to recognition, property and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 53 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 31 DECEMBER 2015 2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) 2.5Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.) (a) Property and equipment (cont’d.) Computer software Website development Renovation Furniture and Fittings Office equipment Computer equipment Motor vehicle The carrying values of property and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Capital work-in-progress is stated at cost and is not depreciated until the assets are ready for intended use. The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year-end, and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. An item of property and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of the asset is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised. Depreciation of other property and equipment is computed on a straight-line over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows: 3 years 3 years 3 years 3 years 3 years 3 years 5 years (b)Grants Grants are recognised at their fair value where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all conditions attached will be met. Grants relating to income, shall be recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Grants relating to an asset, are amortised to profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset by equal annual instalments or presented in the balance sheet by deducting the grants in arriving at the carrying amount of the asset. (c)Impairment of non-financial assets 54 The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Company makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units (“CGU”)). In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of units on a pro-rata basis. PINTAR Foundation (827909-U) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 31 DECEMBER 2015 2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) 2.5Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.) (c)Impairment of non-financial assets (cont’d.) Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises. An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in profit or loss. (d)Financial assets Financial assets are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. When financial assets are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs. The Company determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. A financial asset is derecognised where the contractual right to receive cash flows from the asset has expired. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognised in other comprehensive income is recognised in profit or loss. (i)Receivables Financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are classified as receivables. The Company’s receivables include other receivables. Subsequent to initial recognition, receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, and through the amortisation process. (e)Impairment of financial assets (i)Receivables To determine whether there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets has been incurred, the Company considers factors such as the probability of insolvency or significant financial difficulties of the debtor and default or significant delay in payments. If any such evidence exists, the amount of impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. The carrying amount of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss directly for all financial assets. If in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in profit or loss. ANNUAL REPORT 2015 55 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – 31 DECEMBER 2015 2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D.) 2.5Summary of significant accounting policies (cont’d.) (f)Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability. Financial liabilities, within the scope of MFRS 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, are recognised in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. The Company’s financial liabilities include other payables. Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is extinguished. (g)Equity instruments Contribution from members are classified as equity. (h)Cash and cash equivalents For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at bank and deposits with licensed financial institutions which have an insignificant risk of changes in value. (i)Employee benefits (i)Short term benefits Wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by employees. Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement to future compensated absences. Short term non- accumulating compensated absences such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur. (ii)Defined contribution plan The Company participates in the national pension schemes as defined by the laws of the countries in which it has operations. The Company makes contributions to the Employees Provident Fund in Malaysia, a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions to defined contribution pension scheme are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is performed. (j)Income recognition Income is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company and the amount of the income can be reliably measured. The specific income stream is as follows: (i)Interest income 56 Interest income is recognised on accrual basis using the effective interest method.
