In efforts to assist the Ministry of Education in providing devices for identified students to continue their studies from home during this pandemic, Baiduri Bank presented a donation of laptops in a handover ceremony at the Ministry of Education.

The donation, comprising 100 brand new laptops and accessories, were handed over to Mohd Norilham Hj Jais, Director of Co-Curriculum Education by Pg Azaleen PD Hj Mustapha, Deputy CEO, Business Development at Baiduri Bank.

“During the pandemic, making sure students have the ability to keep learning is one of the most important things we, as a community, can collectively do,” said Pg Azaleen when speaking on the initiative. “With this donation, we’re hoping to provide the means for students who otherwise would not have access to these devices and thus unable to participate in online learning.”

Since the closure of schools as a result of the second wave of COVID-19, the Ministry of Education has started a ‘Device Donation Campaign’ with the goal to provide laptops and other learning aids to students who do not have access.

“We would like to thank the Ministry of Education for all the support that they are providing for the students and wish all the students the best of luck with their studies and upcoming exams. We hope this humble donation is able to provide some relief during this difficult time,” said Pg Azaleen.

Also present at the handover ceremony were Ak Nor Muhammad Nizam Pg Hj Tengah, Head of Group Treasury and Institutional Banking at Baiduri Bank.
