Profile and Q&A with IBBM’s Networking Groups

Chairman of CIANG
strategic directions. Like the CEO,
the CIA must have a ‘helicopter
view’ of the company and therefore,
must continuously keep abreast
of the pulse of the company and
the challenges it faces. IA, being
an important third line of defence,
must also be held accountable,
albeit to a lesser degree compared
to management, when things went
wrong, especially in areas that have
been audited.
Thein Kim Mon, the Group Chief
Internal Auditor (GCIA) for the
AmBank Group since 1 July 2010, is
a dedicated professional auditor with
over 35 years experience (9 years
local; 26 years international) in audit
and risk management.
He is a Fellow of the Institute of
Chartered Accountants, England and
Wales (ICAEW) and Associate of the
Institute of Chartered Accountants
of Australia. He had spent 21 years
of his working career with Australian
and New Zealand Banking Group
(ANZ) in Melbourne, Wellington, and
London, more notably as the Chief
Auditor of ANZ New Zealand, based
in Wellington and the Audit Director/
Regional Head of Audit, UK/Europe
& Americas, based in London.
Summary of his working career
includes appointments in key
positions in:
• 1988 – 2009 – ANZ, Australia
• 1986 – 1987 – Perwira Habib
Bank, Malaysia
• 1982 – 1985 – Coopers
& Lybrand (now
PriceWaterhouseCoopers),
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
• 1975 - 1981 – Coopers

@IBBM:
Given today’s fast paced economic
landscape, what are the significant
changes that you see happening in
Internal Auditing? What are some
of the areas that you and your
organisation have been focusing on in
dealing with these changes?
Thein Kim Mon:
Today’s uncertain economic
landscape is certainly challenging
the Internal Audit (IA) function
to evolve and adapt in order
to continue to remain relevant
and deliver value to the various
stakeholders in any organisation.
This is especially so in the financial
industry which has huge impact on
the country’s economic well-being.
Hence, IA needs to progress from
its traditional reporter of issues
and assurance roles, to a more
engaging and proactive advisory
roles, without compromising its
independence. In order to step
up closer to this level, the Chief
Internal Auditor (CIA) must play
or be seen to play an important
part in the senior management
team, actively participating in the
various management committees
and forums, communicating and
giving insights into crucial issues
confronting the financial institutions,
as well as the financial institution’s
Here at AmBank Group, continuous
engagement and communication with
the key stakeholders is of utmost
importance. Auditees are engaged
extensively during the annual audit
planning process to ensure that we
share the same understanding of
business objectives, key risks and
focus areas. Our engagement with
the auditees continues throughout
the execution of the audit plan
whereby their input and feedback
are sought for audit consideration.
Feedbacks, as to the effectiveness of
completed audits, are obtained to
ensure continuous improvements
are made to audit processes and
methodologies.
AmBank Group’s IA is also being
consciously promoted as the centre
of excellence and learning. We have
embarked on an attachment program
for the Group’s talent pool staff. A
structured training and development
program is also formulated for IA
staff. This includes encouraging IA
staff to pursue relevant certification
programmes to augment their
current skills. In order to improve
audit efficiency, we have implemented
an automated audit management
software (TeamMate).
In conclusion, constant improvement
and enhancement are inevitable in
order to remain relevant and to
deliver value added services to the
organisation.
Compliance Officers Networking Group (CONG)
Mad Yusof Yazid
Chairman of CONG
(effective up to 10 April 2013)
Mad Yusof is the Head of Group
Compliance for Maybank Berhad. He
carries with him 30 years banking
experience and has held various
senior positions managing over 400
Maybank branches and regional
offices.
As Head of Group Compliance,
he is responsible for overseeing
the compliance functions of the
Group, which includes local and
international operations. While
leading Group Compliance for
Maybank, Mad Yusof has obtained
several professional credentials in
the areas of Compliance such as
Qualified Certified Compliance
Officer and Associate Member of
CSI World Head Quarters; focusing
on techniques of data financial
analysis and forensic investigation.
Mad Yusof is also the current
Chairman of Legal & Compliance
Working Group for the Association
of Banks in Malaysia. In his capacity
as Head of Group Compliance,
Mad Yusof has spoken at various
forums including Risk, Control &
Compliance and Managing Risks in an
Unchartered Age at the Hanoi Asian
Bankers Summit 2008.
@IBBM:
Given today’s fast paced economic
landscape, what are the significant
changes that you see happening in
Compliance? What are some of the
areas that you and your organisation
have been focusing on in dealing with
these changes?
Mad Yusof:
The economic landscape of Malaysia
is seeing a greater shift towards
high-income economy and the
financial industry is envisioned
to be a key driver and catalyst of
economic growth. There is also
an increasing demand for regional
financial integration and crossborder connectivity. Acknowledging
that, Bank Negara Malaysia in their
‘Financial Sector Blueprint’, sets the
tone for Malaysia’s financial industry
to be more competitive, dynamic,
inclusive, diversified and integrated,
with the ability to offer world
class financial services, in terms of
breadth, depth and quality to serve
the needs of Malaysia. The Blueprint
foresees increased participations
from the financial industry in
facilitating regional financial flows
and integration.
Evidently, the key players of the
financial industry in Malaysia are
currently taking aggressive steps
in expanding regionally. Supporting
a more progressive and dynamic
financial industry, the compliance
function is expected to move away
from its traditional model. The
compliance function needs to gear
itself to be more responsive, in
parallel with the rapid development
of our economy especially in
promoting the internalisation of
good corporate governance.
As Maybank is embarking on regional
expansion, there is a crucial call for
more transparent financial reporting,
ethical conduct and prudent
supervisory regulation in line with
the demands of today’s financial
market that necessitates a proper
and integrated instrument for the
banking industry to counter future
risks in financial stability. Group
Compliance continues to work
closely with business units and the
assurance teams to minimise any
gaps and ensure that the interests of
our stakeholders are protected at
all times. We learned many lessons
from the recent financial crisis that
had compromised financial stability.
As what Otto von Bismarck, the First
Chancellor of the Second German
Empire once said, “Only a fool learns
from his own mistakes. The wise man
learns from the mistakes of others.”
Editor’s Note: At the time of the
writing of this article, Encik Mad Yusof
was Chairman of CONG. Subsequently,
with the elections held on 10 April
2013, Mr Jeyashanker Kandasamy from
AmBank (M) Berhad, was elected as
CONG’s new Chairman.

In response to increased market
pressures and competition in the
secure domestic leadership, strengthen
its regional presence and become a
talent and execution focused company.
Maybank’s People Transformation
Journey
industry, Maybank has embarked
on its 5-year transformation
program. Can you describe some
of the transformation efforts,
talent development, and employee
engagement initiatives that have been
put in place?”
Nora Abd Manaf:
In 2008, Maybank embarked on
a transformation journey setting
its vision to be a regional financial
services leader by 2015 with a mission
of humanising financial services
across Asia. The transformation
journey Maybank took in 2008 was
a result of both the challenging
realities it faced in the first decade
of the 21st century and a renewed
aspiration for the group. The group
faced intense competition amidst
liberalisation of the financial sector in
Malaysia - domestic and foreign banks
intensified their efforts and the global
macroeconomic uncertainties further
increased performance pressures.
Given Maybank’s core strengths such
as its network reach, customer base
and expansive franchise built over the
years, Maybank had the advantage to
leverage on its asset and resources to
transform itself for the next phase of
growth. With the Group’s significant
M&As, it was also necessary for
Maybank to realise the value from the
integration of newly acquired entities
from the cultural, policies, business
and people aspects amongst others.
The strategic thrusts of the next
phase of its transformation journey
that commenced in 2008 were to
The Group’s ambitious goals and
targets required an intense people
owned and driven transformation by:
1. Focusing organizational culture
towards customer-centricity by
adopting relationship marketing
approaches and building long-term
relationships
2. Inspiring creativity and innovation
to develop competitive advantages
3. Cultivating high employee
performance, going from good to
great
4. Creating a talent factory for the
Group’s growth and sustainability
of performance
The 5 year people transformation
agenda had 3 key priorities that is
strong performance management, best
in class talent management and to be a
top quartile employer of talent.
Performance and Values Based Culture
Our long-term success depends on
us having the right people, with the
right skills, in the right roles, thriving
in the right culture. Our employment
proposition is simple, in that we
hire the right talent locally whilst
providing clear career opportunities
to grow and contribute within the
Group, locally and across the region.
We are conscious of developing
a regional talent pool that is agile
and competitive in order to more
effectively deliver our end outcomes.
Four years after our strategic human
capital transformation plan, we
are seeing results in terms of truly
integrating people within a single
group culture. We place emphasis on
our culture, which guides how we
do business, how we work together
and how we collectively deliver value
across the Group. This is especially
important because we have a diverse
group of people in different roles
across our different businesses in
different countries, who are required
to collectively deliver results and act
in the best interest of the organisation.
Strengthening Capabilities and Agility
As Maybank grows as a regional
organisation, it constantly seeks
opportunities to implement employee
development best practices for the
organisation. The focus continues
with building internal capabilities to
be at the forefront of our regional
expansion by offering opportunities
for intra sectoral and cross border
exposure. These development
practices range from formal
managerial development programmes
to cross sector or cross border
exchange of talents to transfer
skills and broaden the exposure of
our employees, regardless of their
home country. Our successor pool
comprises 68% high potentials and a
succession realisation rate of 40%.
Maybank’s extensive curricular
provides our talents all the learning
and development opportunities
required to accelerate their career to
management and leadership roles. Our
development programme framework
is in place to identify right talents for
all levels, ensuring that they receive
development interventions following
our learning philosophy of 70:20:10
(experiential/relationship based/
formal learning). Our promise to grow
our talents is evident in the fact that
almost 70% of our vacant positions
are filled from within.
Our Leadership Philosophy seeks
to develop winning leaders, deliver
outstanding results and drive
customer centricity. Talents are
evaluated against Maybank’s leadership
competencies to identify them for our
leadership development programmes
that are tailored for different levels
of talents. We have also introduced a
culture of coaching and have dedicated
coaches and mentors to support,
guide and help our employees navigate
through the transformation journey
via individual and team engagements.
Our learning centre, the Maybank
Academy, offers its own managerial
effectiveness and development
programmes, each targeted at
different levels of management. This
is further complemented by another
internally developed CEO pipeline
pool programme aimed at creating
a ready pool of internal talents who
can assume CEO/CEO-like positions,
Transitioning Leaders to CEOs (TLC),
which prepares our people to take
on leadership roles within the Group.
Our leaders continue to be role
models and play a key role in ensuring
constant two way dialogue with
employees.
We have also developed a new
programme, the High PotentialPerformer Integrated Programme
(HIP), to nurture junior high potentials
and performing talents to increase
their readiness in assuming key
positions within the organisation.
Our signature homegrown entry level
pipeline programmes for aspiring
bankers include our signature Global
Maybank Apprentice Programme
(GMAP), a two-year on-the-job
programme for graduates to explore
and experience different functions
via structured on-the-job rotations
including a three-month international
assignment to encourage cross-border
exposure and network among young
talents, the Branch Management
Entry Level Programme (BMELP) is
designed to groom aspiring branch/
centre managers by providing
them with targeted learnings and
skill sets through intensive training
experience in branch management
and the Maybank/Ernst & Young
Management Associate Programme,
where associates undergo a threeyear attachment at Ernst & Young as
auditors earning their professional
accounting qualifications sponsored by
Maybank.
In 2012, Maybank spent RM100.01
million in learning and development
programmes to help up skill
employees to perform at their
optimum levels and work
synergistically as one effective team.
Our Maybank, Our Future –
Our Employee Owned Group
Transformation
Our transformation initiatives
embarked since 2008 to achieve
our 2015 aspiration to be a regional
financial services leader have resulted
in significant improvements in our
financials and the public’s perception
of Maybank that has resulted in
multiple awards and recognitions.
We retained our leadership position
as nation’s No.1 preferred employer in
Graduan Aspire for two years straight.
Similarly, we were also recognised as
the Winner of Banking and Financial
Services category in Malaysia’s
100 Leading Graduate Employers
consecutively in 2011 and 2012. Our
overall ranking across all categories
have improved significantly, moving to
3rd in 2012 from 5th in 2011 and 17th
in 2010.
Year-on-year, employee engagement
remains high. Our 2012 Employee
Engagement Survey recorded an
employee engagement level of 85%, up
from 83% (with BII included) in 2011.
Further, our key retention rate has
improved year on year from 52% in
2010 to 80% in 2011 and 82% in 2012.
Beyond that, we undertook
a revolutionary approach in
recruitment, proactively searching
for talents beyond just academic
excellence.Yearly, we recruit close
to 3,000 graduates across the Group
internationally to ensure we have a
strong workforce for various pipelines
including management roles.
An inspired and engaged workforce
needs to be nurtured continuously
with the right environment which will
enable us as a whole to drive the right
behaviours across the organisation in
achieving our longer term outcomes.
Our ‘TIGER’ values will continue to
form the pulse behind our efforts, and
this is essential in order to ensure
that our people are aligned and
converge around a common set of
core values. Nurturing culture is an
ongoing process through which we
hope that our employees will thrive
and are encouraged to be creative and
inspired.

New Connections
The IBBM Online Learning
Management System (LMS) platform
went live on 15 March allowing users
to register, renew and purchase
individual IBBM membership. Within
the first week, 100 transactions took
place ranging from new registrations
to renewals, with viewers from
countries as far reaching as Hong
Kong, Czech Republic and United
States, amongst others. The numbers
continue to grow and we are
confident that they will escalate as
new features are introduced as they
are being developed.
Changes to IBBM’s Individual
Membership Policy
At the same time, bank visits
were held to promote and explain
the benefits and functionalities
of IBBM Online to HR/ Learning
representatives. The meetings also
provided a platform for the banks
to highlight their concerns and any
constraints in using the system. The
next stream of work will impact on
our enrolments (B2B), payment and
e learning.
Now, you can re-register by
only paying for your applicable
membership fee without incurring
any penalty reinstatement fee or
arrears.
Following this new online
registration process, IBBM has
revised our individual membership
policy, which took effect from 15
March 2013 as well. The revised
changes are as follows:
Membership Renewal
Previously, members wishing to
reinstate their lapsed membership
had to pay a RM30 penalty fee plus
arrears if any.
Membership Prepayment
The option for pre-payment beyond
one year has been revised to allow
members to pre-pay for a 12-month
period.
Membership Tenure
Previously, membership tenure was
on a calendar year basis, which
meant that regardless of when your
membership was renewed in the year,
it would still expire on 31 December.
Now, your membership will be an
actual 365-day reflection of your
registration.
Membership Expiry
Your membership will run until the
actual date of expiry.
IBBM Online will assist you in
remembering the forthcoming date
of your membership renewal via its
email reminders.
For our members that are already
using IBBM Online, we hope that you
are enjoying the convenience of the
services offered and for those who
have not registered, we hope to see
you on IBBM Online soon.

Workshop on Preparing for Basel III Implementation in Malaysia
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision has issued a number of proposed amendments to the current Basel II
Accord, commonly referred to as “Basel III”. The implementation of Basel III in Malaysia is expected to deliver longterm benefits to the overall economy and financial system, with a much strengthened banking system operating as
its core. With a more resilient banking system, the likelihood and severity of future banking crises will be reduced, as
will the need for large-scale government interventions to support the economy and to stabilise the financial system
during crises. A workshop on Preparing for Basel III Implementation in Malaysia was conducted on 23-25 April 2013.
35 participants attended the programme held at IBBM.
The workshop was designed to provide comprehensive knowledge and skills needed to understand the new and
extremely complex Basel III framework, and its impact on Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region. The training provided
unbiased, independent and strategic advice to enable individuals or organisations to make sensible and informed
decisions regarding Basel III implementation. This has proved invaluable to the internal decision-making processes and
strategies of many organisations concerning Basel III, resulting in substantial financial and operational benefits.
The workshop was conducted by George Lekatis, an internationally acclaimed risk and compliance management
expert and President of the Basel III Compliance Professionals Association, the largest association of Basel III
professionals in the world. The programme was approved by Securities Industry Development Corporation (SIDC)
for 10 CPE Points.

Chartered Banker Institute visits IBBM
A visit to IBBM was carried out by the Chartered Banker Institute (CIOBS) from 14 – 17 January 2013 to review the
accreditation of IBBM to jointly award all three levels of the Chartered Banker programme. CIOBS was represented
by Colin Morrison, Deputy Chief Executive and Director of Education and Shona Matthews, Head of Strategic
Implementation.
This visit was an opportunity for IBBM to demonstrate to CIOBS its existing capabilities, systems and procedures
that have been put in place to meet their quality standards both on an institutional and programme basis. At the
end of the visit, CIOBS made a few recommendations for improvement and enhancement which will be considered
within the context of our annual review. Under the terms of CIOBS accreditation guidelines, the review team was
pleased to offer IBBM conditional approval. The team will work with IBBM to identify time scale for the conditions
to be met and for the accreditation to be fully implemented across all relevant programmes. Apart from this, the visit
also formalized CIOBS’ agreement to support the operations of the Chartered Banker awards and examinations.
Sharing Experiences
On April 10 – 11, the Head of
Awarding Body from the Chartered
Banker Institute in Scotland (CIOBS),
Raymond Brown, visited the Institute
to share on how CIOBS converted
from paper-based examinations to
computer-based examinations (CBE).
Mr Brown described the changes in
processes, policies and skills needed
to implement CBE. The learning
points from CIOBS experience
will assist IBBM in preparing for
e-delivery of its services that
includes examinations.
Further to that meeting in the Philippines, the Executive
Director of ATENEO-BAP Institute of Banking, Daniel
“Glenn” San Luis, together with Philip Te, visited IBBM on
15 April 2013 to discuss the collaborative arrangements
and agree on the structure and scope of knowledge
for the qualification as both parties have agreed to codevelop a bank risk management qualification with focus
on the ASEAN markets. The bank risk management
qualification will contain ASEAN risk management case
studies, spreadsheet applications, Basel III updates, ICAAP
and other relevant topics with examples suitable in the
ASEAN context.
IBBM CEO Tay Kay Luan and Technical Specialist Dr.
Vijayan Paramsothy were in Makati, Philippines on
6 and 7 February 2013 to visit the Ateneo Center
for Continuing Education. There, they met with
Executive Director Daniel “Glenn” San Luis and other
representatives, as well as another partner from the
banks in Philippines. The purpose of the meeting was
to discuss the development of the proposed Bank
Risk Management Qualification, which is to be an
ASEAN professional risk management programme
designed around internationally accepted standards
and developed jointly by Ateneo Banker’s Association
of Philippines (ATENEO-BAP) Institute of Banking and
IBBM.
Going Regional - Vietnam
At the invitation of The Institute
of Manpower, Banking And Finance
(BTCI), IBBM CEO Tay Kay Luan
spoke at the “Perspective of
Education in the Finance Sector
2013” Seminar on 7 March 2013
in Hanoi,Vietnam; where he
presented a paper on “Professional
competencies, certification and
standards in banking education”.
During the visit, IBBM also had
the opportunity to meet with the
Deputy Director General of Agri
Bank (the largest bank in Vietnam)
as part of our promotional activities.
A presentation was also conducted

qualifications for the Indonesian market, which was well
received.
In the spirit of institutional cooperation, IBBM signed
a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with
Perbanas Institute, Indonesia. Perbanas Institute
was established as a university college and is well
supported by the Indonesia Banks Association
(Perbanas) which comprises some 82 Indonesian
banks.
The MoU was signed by IBBM CEO Tay Kay Luan
and the Rector of Perbanas Institute, Prof. Dr. Ir.
Rev. Marsudi in front of the Kisworo Perbanas Chief
Education Foundation and Civitas Akademika all
Perbanas Institute on 6 April 2013 at the Jakarta
Convention Centre.
The collaboration allows both institutes to explore
leveraging on each other’s strengths across research,
resourcing, training and examinations in banking
and finance. IBBM has also suggested offering
joint awards/examinations in Chartered Banker
Following the signing of the MoU, some of the potential joint
co-operations which are expected to ensue include:
• Collaboration in the development and delivery of
training and education in banking and finance;
• Exchanging data, information and education materials;
• Sharing of leading practices and knowledge in banking
trends and developments;
• Co-hosting thought leadership activities including
forums, and seminars; and
• Regional technical collaboration and cooperation in
training and development for lesser developed markets
in ASEAN.
In line with its strategic intent to support its members
overseas, and to position Kuala Lumpur as the banking
education hub, IBBM places strategic importance on regional
cooperation. This collaboration would also be in line with
IBBM’s preferred working model where it could leverage on
its strengths to accelerate enrolments in the certification
programmes and expand its influence in regional markets
especially so in the potential market of Indonesia.
In addition, as harmonisation of standards continue to
take shape in the banking industry, mutual recognition of
professional qualifications will become more important.
In areas of knowledge learning, IBBM and Perbanas Institute
could also work on using their resources for research and
publishing of thought leadership, including exploring on
possible joint examinations and conference activities.
BTS from Vietnam visits IBBM
A delegation from the BIDV Training School (BTS) visited IBBM
on 19 April 2013 with the aim to bridge the education gap in
hope to get further insight and possible collaboration in creating
a competency framework across the banking functions for BIDV.
The visit was particularly focused on sharing programme design and
development, with an introduction to the process of examinations,
in-house training and public programmes. Koay Seok Khim, General
Manager, Knowledge and Learning from Public Bank was invited to
give the Industry’s perspective on Training Needs Analysis, as well as
an overall view of talent development in Public Bank starting from
management trainees right up to senior management.
Upon his return, Dr Nguyen Quang Ngoc, the Deputy Director
of BIDV said that he and his team were very thankful for the
informative meeting with practice-linked discussions that were
very useful for them. He also marked this journey with IBBM by
registering to become an IBBM member soon after the visit.
Vietnam has 8 banks featured in the Top 1000 World Banks for 2012.
Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) is one of

to new standards will demand changes to operational
requirements and reporting.
Implementation of risk management and standards
would be one of the priorities of banks as they
start immediately to assess the global impact of the
changes, business models and constantly reviewing
their agenda to address these.
It is inevitable regulatory and market reforms in the banking
industry will further shape the future landscape giving rise
to greater uncertainty and opportunities. While banks will
find greater challenges in its market developments and
activities; they are also experiencing falling margins, and
rising cost of capital. Impacts of compliance to new capital
requirements will drive up additional costs, and adjustments
Additionally, management issues especially in talent
development, would be the challenges for the
corporate sector. These were among the topics
shared by speakers, which included IBBM CEO Tay
Kay Luan, at the 15th Malaysia Strategic Outlook
Conference at Sunway Putra Hotel Kuala Lumpur on
31 January 2013.
The local sectors will be closely watching the
developments of the US economy implementation of
macro-economic policies of new leadership in Japan,
Korea and China, and the development and impact of
the 13th General Election.
Readiness of Internal Audit Function on Risk
Management Related Issues
Exactly how prepared are Malaysian banks and their internal
audit (IA) function with regards to risk management (RM)? To
gauge the true picture, IBBM appointed KPMG to conduct a
joint survey on ‘Readiness of Internal Audit Function on Risk
Management Related Issues in Malaysian Banking Institutions.’
The survey is part of IBBM’s ongoing commitment to
promoting thought leadership and contributing to a high-quality
body of research and knowledge and key areas in the Malaysian
banking and finance environment.
The survey received a 60% response rate and was targeted
at all local and foreign Malaysia-based banking institutions.
The survey looked into the expectation of the Chief Internal
Auditors (CIAs) and Chief Risk Officers (CROs) in relation
to risk management issues, the capabilities expected of banks’
internal auditors, and the support which could be provided by
the risk management unit of the respective banks.
The resulting views were summarised under five main
areas: Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process, capital
management, market risk, training, governance & reporting
and Others. Amongst these, a couple of points of stood out.
One, survey respondents were concerned about competency
levels which could be addressed through increased training
and education. Two, banking institutions which had embedded a
robust culture of risk management and good governance were
far better prepared to deal with risks. Three, competencies
in risk management and internal audit are gaining increased
recognition as strategic drivers in a volatile business
environment that is becomingly significantly
riskier.
Overall, the findings show that both IA and RM
roles are expanding and overlapping in completely
unprecedented and unanticipated ways, impacting
the entire industry. The increasing importance
of IA and RM can be hugely beneficial for banks
depending on the responses of industry players
to the outstanding issues and concerns identified
by the survey.
An industry briefing session on the survey results
was held on 27 March 2013, where the thought
leadership research publication, “Internal Audit
Matters: Risk Management” was also launched.

Every Child Deserves To Learn In Comfort
FSTEP held its CSR project for Batch 9, involving all the
participants, together with the management staff. For every
batch, FSTEP participants are allowed to plan a community
project of their choice with the focus differing each year with
the objective of giving the participant a whole new experience
in community service. This year, it was decided to help school
children with the theme “Every Child Deserves to Learn in
Comfort”.
This CSR programme was initiated by FSTEP, in collaboration
with Great Eastern Life Assurance (Malaysia) Berhad (GE) and
RockCorps Malaysia (RCM), a community programme brought
to local shores by The Zhariff Initiative Sdn Bhd (TZI). It aims
to revolutionize the youths’ perspective towards volunteering
work by encouraging them to give their time to the RCM
charity project in return for complimentary tickets to the
RockCorps concert. The joint CSR project was held at SJK(T)
Batu Caves, an Indian vernacular primary school located next
to Batu Caves that has a total number of 1,650 students. The
project involved painting corridors and classrooms, as well as
cleaning and sprucing up the surrounding areas so as to give
the school a livelier ambience to study in.
On 23 February 2013, all the participants gathered at 8.00am
at the school. After the introduction session between the
participants and the School’s Principal/Chairman of the PIBG
(Persatuan Ibu Bapa dan Guru), a briefing on the assigned
tasks was held, which was followed by breakfast sponsored
by GE. The participants were divided into groups and headed
to their respective sections of the school. The participants
cleaned up classrooms, painted corridors, walls and doors,
as well as drew wall murals. With the concerted efforts by
more than 140 participants, all the designated tasks were
completed by 1.00pm. Soon after lunch sponsored by GE
was had, the participants gathered at the hall, together with
representatives from GE and RCM for the appreciation and
closing ceremony. Representatives from the school took this
opportunity to express their thanks to all involved, and for
our FSTEP participants, it was a job well done with lots of
fond memories.
